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 \u2018titulares de contratos de arrendamento qualificados\u2019<\/em> a 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

Pode utilizar o nosso calculadora de extens\u00e3o de aluguer em linha<\/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

De seguida, descrevemos o procedimento para a prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o do contrato de arrendamento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investiga\u00e7\u00f5es iniciais<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Qualifica\u00e7\u00e3o para uma extens\u00e3o do contrato de arrendamento<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Antes de iniciar o procedimento formal de prolongamento do contrato de arrendamento, \u00e9 importante verificar primeiro se preenche os requisitos de qualifica\u00e7\u00e3o: Inicialmente, o contrato de arrendamento deve ter sido concedido por um per\u00edodo igual ou superior a 21 anos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deve estar registado como propriet\u00e1rio do contrato de arrendamento h\u00e1 pelo menos 2 anos.<\/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 aluguer comercial<\/a> then you vontade<\/a> not qualify for a lease extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identificar o \u2018senhorio competente\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ter\u00e1 de identificar o senhorio competente. O senhorio competente \u00e9 o senhorio com um interesse suficientemente superior na propriedade para poder conceder a prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o do contrato de arrendamento por 90 anos - ou seja, um interesse superior a 90 anos em rela\u00e7\u00e3o ao seu contrato atual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muitas vezes, o senhorio imediato \u00e9 o propriet\u00e1rio livre e, por conseguinte, o senhorio competente. No entanto, h\u00e1 casos em que o senhorio imediato possui um contrato de arrendamento interm\u00e9dio que \u00e9 demasiado curto para dar ao propriet\u00e1rio do apartamento uma prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o de noventa anos. Isto n\u00e3o \u00e9 um obst\u00e1culo \u00e0 obten\u00e7\u00e3o de uma prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o do contrato de arrendamento, mas antes de iniciar o procedimento formal de prorroga\u00e7\u00e3o do contrato de arrendamento, deve ter o cuidado de se certificar de que identificou o \u2018senhorio competente\u2019 correto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O procedimento 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
