I am looking at a two maisonettes in Little Oakley which have approximately 50 years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Little Oakley. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
