Residential Lease Extensions: Protecting Your Property Investment

Residential Lease Extensions: Protecting Your Property Investment

Extending your residential lease can significantly increase property value, but it requires careful calculation. Accurate valuations ensure homeowners pay the right premium and protect long-term equity.

What is a Residential Lease Extension?

A lease extension increases the length of a leasehold property, often with a premium paid to the freeholder. It safeguards your home’s market value and can prevent future disputes.

Why Focus on Accurate Valuations?

Underestimating the premium can cost homeowners money, while overestimating can make negotiations challenging. A professional valuation ensures fairness and compliance with legal standards.

Starting Your Lease Extension Journey

Who Should Use It?
Homeowners looking to extend their lease, and freeholders seeking fair compensation, benefit from valuation reports. It gives both sides a clear basis for negotiation.
