    Common Problems We See

    Many Romford leaseholders don't realise how much lease length affects their property's value and future costs until it's too late.

    Not knowing the 80-year threshold exists

    Costs can increase significantly once a lease drops below 80 years due to marriage value.

    Delaying and paying more later

    Every year you wait, the lease gets shorter and the extension gets more expensive.

    Difficulty selling or remortgaging

    Lenders often won't offer mortgages on leases below 70–80 years, reducing your buyer pool.

    Confusion about the process

    Many leaseholders don't know where to start or who to speak to about extending their lease.

    The 80-Year Lease Threshold

    In many lease extension cases, costs increase significantly once a lease drops below 80 years remaining. This is because additional valuation factors (known as marriage value) may apply. If your lease is close to or below 80 years, we recommend seeking advice early.
