Where a Ryde lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Rydelease extensions you will be required to have owned the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease. In the main the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Ryde ask leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. Best to be warned if redecorating or some other significant cost is pending to be shared between the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or result in a one off invoice.
