I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Wadhurst both have about forty five years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Wadhurst. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
