I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Birkenshaw both have approximately 50 years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
