Important Investor Note – Lease Extension Offer
The Freeholder has already confirmed in writing that they are willing to extend the current 79 yr lease to 125 years at a total estimated cost of £9,250 (including premium, legal fees, valuation fees, and VAT).
This favourable offer significantly enhances the long term value of the property and removes future lease length concerns for investors.
The current asking price already reflects this cost, meaning buyers benefit from a reduced entry price with a clear, fixed cost pathway to a long lease an attractive proposition for both capital appreciation and mortgage ability.
