Increasing the value and prospects of leasehold properties for sale with lease extension services.
Short leases can cause problems with property sales, as potential buyers might struggle to get a mortgage when there are fewer than 80 years left on the lease.
Even if they are able to get a bank to lend to them, interest rates tend to be higher, making the property less attractive to them.
To help London property sellers with short leases, ludlowthompson has launched a lease extension service.
Stephen Ludlow, Chairman of ludlowthompson, comments: “Our new lease extension service offers customers a one stop shop to extend their lease at a fixed cost.
"Many buyers need to extend their lease prior to a sale and we are providing our customers with an easy to use service with a reasonable and transparent cost.”
