I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Wiveliscombe which have about fifty years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in Wiveliscombe. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
