I am looking at a two apartments in Heathrow which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Heathrow conveyancing firm to represent me?
