I am looking at a two apartments in Crystal Palace which have in the region of 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Crystal Palace. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
