As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Paddock Wood or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Paddock Wood.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Paddock Wood which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property 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 solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
