I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Minera which have in the region of forty five years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a large sum, say about £25-£75 but you should to check it because on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. Is there a share of the freehold? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments?
