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 r\u00e9sidentiel<\/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 \u2018titulaires de baux admissibles\u2019<\/em> les 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

Vous pouvez utiliser notre calculatrice de prolongation de bail en ligne<\/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 suppl\u00e9mentaires<\/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

Conditions d'octroi d'une prolongation de bail<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Avant d'entamer la proc\u00e9dure formelle de prolongation du bail, il est important de v\u00e9rifier que vous remplissez les conditions requises : Votre bail doit avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 accord\u00e9 pour une dur\u00e9e de 21 ans ou plus \u00e0 l'origine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vous devez \u00eatre enregistr\u00e9 comme propri\u00e9taire du bail depuis au moins 2 ans.<\/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> ou bail commercial<\/a> then you va<\/a> not qualify for a lease extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifier le \u2018bailleur comp\u00e9tent\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Vous devez identifier le propri\u00e9taire comp\u00e9tent. Le propri\u00e9taire comp\u00e9tent est celui qui d\u00e9tient un droit suffisamment sup\u00e9rieur sur le bien pour pouvoir accorder la prolongation du bail de 90 ans, c'est-\u00e0-dire un droit de plus de 90 ans de plus que votre bail actuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Souvent, le propri\u00e9taire imm\u00e9diat est le d\u00e9tenteur de la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 et donc le propri\u00e9taire comp\u00e9tent. Cependant, il arrive que le propri\u00e9taire imm\u00e9diat poss\u00e8de un bail interm\u00e9diaire trop court pour permettre au propri\u00e9taire de l'appartement de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d'une prolongation de quatre-vingt-dix ans. Cela ne constitue pas un obstacle \u00e0 l'obtention d'une prolongation de bail, mais avant d'entamer la proc\u00e9dure formelle de prolongation de bail, vous devez vous assurer que vous avez identifi\u00e9 le bon \u2018propri\u00e9taire comp\u00e9tent\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La proc\u00e9dure formelle<\/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
