I am attracted to a couple of flats in Penistone which have approximately 50 years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in Penistone. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term.

Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
