I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Ashton In Makerfield which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Ashton In Makerfield. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term.

We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
