I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Chadderton both have approximately 50 years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease.
