I spoke with two different car dealers from whom I had bought cars, and both of them essentially instructed me to go if I wasn’t going to buy or lease another vehicle from them when my current Q50 lease came to an end.
After owning seven Infiniti cars and SUVs, I’m completely done with them. To wait for the availability of my next vehicle, I must, however, prolong my lease for one to two more months after January.
I called IFS last because I had read that they would only extend leases if you were abroad when the lease was due. That was erroneous.
They happily offered to extend my lease month to month when I called today. Now that they wouldn’t change my payment at all, I am essentially paying new car pricing for a used car, but it is still less expensive than monthly or biweekly car rentals.

Can I buy the car I’m leasing?

Is extending a car lease a smart move?
Cons of Lease Extension The extra lease payments are a waste of money if you decide to purchase the vehicle because the offer you would be getting now won’t be as favorable later on. Some lenders may not provide a prorated additional mileage limit when you request an extension, leaving you vulnerable to charges.
How long may a lease be extended?
Renewal of the Lease Anytime you want, you can ask the landlord to extend your lease. If you meet the requirements, you might be able to extend your lease on a flat by 90 years. If you are eligible, 50 years on a house.
Does the lease extension process take two years?
You are entitled to a lease extension once you have purchased the apartment for two years.
Assuming the lease has to be extended while you are purchasing, the seller may begin the procedure (if they have owned the lease for at least two years) and grant the buyer the right to extend. This indicates that the buyer won’t have to wait the required two years to renew the lease. This must be completed at the same time that the property is purchased.
Alternatively, after making a purchase, the buyer may attempt to talk to the landlord informally about extending the lease.
In order to determine the expected cost of the lease extension, you should consult a specialist in valuation.
We advise you to seek expert guidance from a surveyor and lawyer with relevant experience.
What is the cost of extending the lease?
Costs can differ significantly. A PS7,500 total is normally required to extend the lease on a PS200,000 apartment with 95 years left on the current term. If the lease has 85 years left to run, the charges might go to PS8,500, and if there are just 60 years left, they could increase to PS26,500.
What is an extension of a lease?
The process by which a leaseholder extends the length of their lease is known as a lease extension. There are leases for both apartments and homes, and they can be extended. Can my lease be extended? You may be able to take advantage of the legal right to extend the lease of your apartment or home if certain requirements are met.
Who pays the additional rent?
It varies. You should pay the premium to extend the lease if the term is short and you are paying less than the market value of what the property would be worth with a long lease. The seller, however, is responsible for covering the lease extension premium if you are paying the current market price as though the property had a full lease.
If the lease is less than 80 years, the seller will be aware of their precarious position, therefore be careful to account for all lease extension charges when making your offer. It can be hazardous to purchase a condo with a brief lease, so budget for potential losses.
- Based on the extended lease period, the mortgage lender will decide whether or not to lend.
- You and the seller might agree to have the seller pay the premium, legal fees, surveyor fees, and freeholder fees associated with the lease extension.
- The lengthier lease is registered upon completion, which means that lawyers will have less total work to undertake.
- The seller will want for the process to go as quickly as possible, so you can use this as a bargaining chip to guarantee that everything is finished at the same time.
- If you are purchasing the property for less than market value, you also have the choice to reimburse the seller for the lease extension.
- You have no control over the procedure; only the seller can negotiate an extension of the lease with the freeholder.
- You are left waiting for other people to complete the procedure even though your solicitor has agreed to the final lease and its terms. Only the seller is able to contact the freeholder.
This is the second best alternative if option 1 will take too long to finish, albeit it has significant risks. The statutory right to prolong the lease is transferred to you after completion by having the seller serve the Section 42 notice on the title (learn more about the Section 42 notice).
The new lease term must then be negotiated directly with the freeholder; however, there is no assurance that they will accept the notice. You may even need to appeal to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal for a ruling on the amount of the lease extension premium.
Can one decline a lease extension?
Only the courts have the authority to fully interpret the law, hence this pamphlet is not intended to describe it. And not every situation is covered. A disadvantage of leasing a long-term apartment or maisonette is that its value depreciates over time. The value of the property declines as the lease’s remaining term gets shorter. As a result, the legislation grants the leaseholder (tenant) the right to renew their lease after two years of ownership.
The option is to extend the current lease by an additional 90 years for a “peppercorn rent.” There is no ground rent due while paying a peppercorn rent. For instance, the new extended lease would be for 160 years if the current lease had 70 years remaining.
The Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act of 1993 (the 1993 act), as amended by any subsequent acts that apply, sets forth a formula for the premium (the price) that the landlord is entitled to receive in exchange for extending the lease.
Your legal ability to extend your lease is described in this advice manual. If you’d prefer, you might be able to work out whatever terms you can with your landlord to extend your lease. There are no rules, so your landlord may refuse to extend your lease or establish any terms they like if you choose to try to negotiate one. For instance, they might want to include a term that raises the ground rent.
The formal process is initiated by serving the landlord with the tenant’s notice (the tenant’s notice), and it then proceeds along a predetermined path. Although the formal process to acquire the 90-year extension is only getting started, there should be some time spent getting ready so that you are well-prepared and have the right guidance.
Prior to beginning the process, you must:
- confirming your eligibility (including locating the “competent landlord”);
- select and hire qualified consultants (such as a solicitor and a surveyor);
- evaluating the premium;
- make sure you have the funds necessary to finish the treatment;
- assemble the data you’ll need;
- create the notice to the tenant; and
- Prepare for the operations that will come next.
You and your counselors can pick the sequence in which you complete the aforementioned duties, but you must have completed them all before beginning the procedure. Once the renter has received notice, the process will begin, and you will be required to submit information and adhere to timeframes. Your request to renew the lease could be denied if you don’t comply with any of these requests. Regardless of whether your application is approved or denied, you are responsible for paying the landlord’s reasonable, professional expenses as of the day you serve the tenant’s notice. The law outlines the expenses the landlord is entitled to collect and provides some guidelines for what is acceptable. (See the Act’s Section 60.)
Keep in mind that if the other leaseholders jointly apply to purchase the freehold through the collective enfranchisement process outlined by the 1993 act, your application to extend the lease will be suspended. In a similar vein, you are not permitted to submit a lease extension request while a collective enfranchisement application is being reviewed.

What is a voluntarily extended lease?
A voluntary lease extension, or informal lease extension as it is sometimes known, is a method of negotiation between the lessee and the landlord (freeholder) to extend the lease on a property. There are no set rules in this process; the freeholder must agree to the length of the lease term, the ground rent amount, and all other costs. Both sides might potentially save time and money with this arrangement, but is it just too good to be true?
