No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have used the firm you're are thinking of instructing.

I own a leasehold flat in Fulwood and Elston. Conveyancing was completed in five years ago. I have heard that I should not let the lease length fall too low. Is this right?

Fulwood and Elston residential long term leases are for a set period - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Fulwood and Elston were built or converted 30 or more years ago and so these leases now have under eighty years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
