Where a Shoreham By Sea lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are eligible to extend the lease. It would be sensible to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily matters such as the tidiness of the communal areas. Enquire of prospective neighbours what they think of them. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely how they are spending that money. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
