I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Carbis Bay which have approximately 50 years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
