I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Ferryside both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Ferryside. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
