Hundreds of leaseholders at Sandringham Crescent, Sandringham Mount, Sandringham Way and Sandringham Drive are being urged to extend their leases before March 2021. Failure to do so may significantly devalue their property and may incur material costs which can be avoided if leaseholders act now.
Lease extension solicitor at Holmes & Hills, Callie Tuplin, is issuing the warning and explains the issue affecting the leaseholders below.
In just a few weeks' time, March 2021, hundreds of leaseholders at Sandringham Crescent, Sandringham Mount, Sandringham Way and Sandringham Drive in LS17 8 will see their leases fall below the critical point of 80 years remaining on the term of their lease.
When a lease falls below the point of 80 years remaining, it becomes significantly more expensive to extend the lease. The cost is likely to increase by several thousands of pounds. This is due to a piece of law that states additional compensation must paid to the freeholder, this being called ‘Marriage Value’.
Leaseholders can avoid incurring this additional cost by speaking with the lease extension specialists at Holmes & Hills Solicitors immediately and commencing the lease extension process. This will allow for the lease extension solicitors at Holmes & Hills to serve the formal Notice to extend on your freeholder before the critical date affecting these leaseholders.
If you do not do what other leaseholder have done and call Holmes & Hills with a view to commencing the lease extension process, your lease will fall below the 80 year mark. This means:

It is not in the interests of the freeholder to highlight this issue to you. Your freeholder will hope that you do not extend your lease before the critical date in March 2021 deadline because if you fail to do this, they will receive more money from you when you do get to extending your lease. There is no legal obligation on them to highlight this issue to you.

On 7th January 2021 the Government announced that they were proposing several changes to the law which they intend will make it cheaper to extend a lease in future. Unfortunately, due to the lengths of time it takes for proposed reforms to become law, it is not expected that anything will change for several years. Due to the critical deadline of March 2021, leaseholders at Sandringham Crescent, Sandringham Mount, Sandringham Way and Sandringham Drive are recommended to commence their lease extension before the critical deadline of March 2021.
For more information on the Government's proposed leasehold reform, please contact Holmes & Hills Solicitors on 01206593990 and we will happily discuss this with you and answer any questions.
