I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in New Invention which have in the region of fifty years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in New Invention. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. Does the lease contain onerous restrictions?

You would be well advised to commission a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of problems get a comprehensive structural survey.
