There are plenty of short leases in Bilston. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been informed by various friends to expect 6-8 weeks for Bilston conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The property information was only forwarded from the vendors conveyancing practitioner last week so does the time start running now?

Do not rely on completing on a specific date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever assurances the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your estate agent makes don't bank on them. More frustration is caused to clients trying to move home by false assurances than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Bilston.
