If you own a leasehold property, a lease extension valuation is a crucial step in understanding the likely premium payable to extend your lease. Whether you are approaching the 80-year threshold or planning ahead, having an accurate, independent valuation can help you negotiate with confidence and avoid unnecessary costs.
Through our professional referral network, SynergiseUK connects you with independent, qualified valuers experienced in lease extension work across England and Wales.
What is the purpose of a Lease Extension Valuation?
A lease extension valuation assesses the premium payable to extend a lease, typically under statutory lease extension rights or through informal negotiation with the freeholder.
It helps to:
-
Estimate the cost of extending your lease
-
Support negotiations with the freeholder
-
Inform statutory lease extension notices
-
Avoid overpaying due to inaccurate assumptions
-
Support legal and professional advisers during the process
Lease extension valuations take into account factors such as remaining lease length, property value, ground rent, and marriage value (where applicable).
When might a Lease Extension Valuation be required?
A lease extension valuation is commonly required when:
-
Your lease is approaching or below 80 years remaining
-
You are planning a statutory lease extension
-
You are negotiating informally with a freeholder
-
You are selling or refinancing a leasehold property
-
Your solicitor or lender requests an independent valuation
-
You want clarity before instructing legal advisers
Acting early can help reduce costs and prevent complications later.
