Where a Towcester lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Towcesterlease extensions you would be required to have owned the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease. Does this lease have more than 82 years left? Its a good idea to find out as much as you can about the company managing the block as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters such as the tidiness of the common parts. Don't be afraid to ask other tenants what they think of them. On a final note, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending that money.
