With the property market in London<\/a> and other major cities, such as Manchester<\/a>, continuing to grow, it is important to ensure that if you own leasehold property you are fully aware of your rights to protect your investment. Ownership of a long Wohnen<\/a> lease<\/a> can be a valuable asset, however as the lease term decreases over time so, unfortunately, can the value of that asset. The Leasehold Reform and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended) gives \u2018qualifizierte Erbp\u00e4chter\u2019.\u2019<\/em> der right<\/a> to a lease extension in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand the importance<\/a> for landlords of having a strategy which works across an entire property portfolio to obtain the best possible new lease terms as well as the best premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right is to extend the existing lease by 90 years at a “peppercorn rent” (this means effectively no ground rent is payable). For example, if the present lease had 80 years left to run the new, extended lease would be for 170 years. The landlord<\/a> is entitled to a premium for the lease extension and this is based on a formula set out in the relevant Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sie k\u00f6nnen unser Online-Rechner f\u00fcr Mietverl\u00e4ngerungen<\/a> to estimate the premium for a statutory lease<\/a> extension. This calculation should not remove the need to instruct an experienced surveyor for an accurate valuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a lease has less than 80 years to run at the time when a lease extension is claimed, the price is increased by an zus\u00e4tzlich<\/a> valuation element called the \u201cmarriage value\u201d. If a lease has approximately 80 years remaining, it is important to act quickly so as not to pay a higher premium for the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im Folgenden wird das Verfahren f\u00fcr die Verl\u00e4ngerung von Mietvertr\u00e4gen beschrieben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00fche Untersuchungen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Qualifikation f\u00fcr eine Mietvertragsverl\u00e4ngerung<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bevor Sie das f\u00f6rmliche Verfahren zur Verl\u00e4ngerung des Mietvertrags einleiten, sollten Sie zun\u00e4chst pr\u00fcfen, ob Sie die Voraussetzungen erf\u00fcllen: Ihr Mietvertrag muss urspr\u00fcnglich f\u00fcr eine Dauer von mindestens 21 Jahren abgeschlossen worden sein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sie m\u00fcssen seit mindestens 2 Jahren als Eigent\u00fcmer des Mietvertrags eingetragen sein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your landlord is a charitable housing<\/a> trust<\/a> and the flat is provided as part of the charity’s functions or if it is a business<\/a> oder Gesch\u00e4ftsmiete<\/a> then you wird<\/a> not qualify for a lease extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifizierung des \u2018zust\u00e4ndigen Vermieters\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sie m\u00fcssen den zust\u00e4ndigen Vermieter ermitteln. Der zust\u00e4ndige Vermieter ist derjenige, der ein hinreichend gro\u00dfes Interesse an der Immobilie hat, um die Verl\u00e4ngerung des Mietvertrags um 90 Jahre gew\u00e4hren zu k\u00f6nnen - d. h. ein Interesse, das \u00fcber 90 Jahre l\u00e4nger ist als Ihr derzeitiger Mietvertrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e4ufig ist der unmittelbare Vermieter der Eigent\u00fcmer und damit der zust\u00e4ndige Vermieter. Es gibt jedoch F\u00e4lle, in denen der unmittelbare Vermieter \u00fcber einen Zwischenmietvertrag verf\u00fcgt, der zu kurz ist, um dem Wohnungseigent\u00fcmer eine Verl\u00e4ngerung um neunzig Jahre zu erm\u00f6glichen. Dies ist kein Hindernis f\u00fcr eine Mietvertragsverl\u00e4ngerung, aber bevor Sie das f\u00f6rmliche Mietverl\u00e4ngerungsverfahren einleiten, m\u00fcssen Sie sicherstellen, dass Sie den richtigen \u2018zust\u00e4ndigen Vermieter\u2019 ermittelt haben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das f\u00f6rmliche Verfahren<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The leaseholder\u2019s initial notice of claim (section 42 notice) triggers the statutory<\/a> procedures for acquiring the new lease and the leaseholder is liable for the landlord’s reasonable costs as from the date he received the Notice. The initial notice will set out certain essential information about<\/a> the Flat and the Leaseholder, and also the premium that the Leaseholder wishes to pay for the Lease Extension. The Claim Notice is served on the competent landlord with copies provided to any other intermediate landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
