I am attracted to a two flats in Speke both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
