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 residencial<\/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 \u2018arrendatarios cualificados\u2019<\/em> el 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

Puede utilizar nuestro calculadora en l\u00ednea de pr\u00f3rroga del arrendamiento<\/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 adicional<\/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

Requisitos para una pr\u00f3rroga del contrato de arrendamiento<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Antes de iniciar el procedimiento formal de pr\u00f3rroga del contrato de arrendamiento, es importante que compruebe que cumple los requisitos: Su contrato de arrendamiento debe haberse concedido inicialmente por un plazo igual o superior a 21 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debe estar registrado como titular del contrato de arrendamiento durante al menos 2 a\u00f1os.<\/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> o arrendamiento comercial<\/a> then you will<\/a> not qualify for a lease extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identificar al \u2018arrendador competente\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tendr\u00e1 que identificar al arrendador competente. El arrendador competente es el que tiene un inter\u00e9s suficientemente superior en la propiedad como para poder conceder la pr\u00f3rroga de 90 a\u00f1os, es decir, un inter\u00e9s superior en m\u00e1s de 90 a\u00f1os al de su contrato actual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A menudo, el arrendador inmediato ser\u00e1 el propietario y, por tanto, el arrendador competente. Sin embargo, hay casos en los que el arrendador inmediato posee un contrato de arrendamiento intermedio que es demasiado corto para conceder al propietario del piso una pr\u00f3rroga de noventa a\u00f1os. Esto no es un obst\u00e1culo para obtener una pr\u00f3rroga, pero antes de iniciar el procedimiento formal de pr\u00f3rroga debe asegurarse de que ha identificado al \u2018arrendador competente\u2019 correcto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El procedimiento formal<\/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
