Have been Googling this subject but am still confused with all new leasehold legislation - sifting fact from non-fact!
I know there's a length at which a lease becomes harder to mortgage - i.e. when a marriage value becomes payable. What is the crucial number of years left?
Will be looking at a flat which I think has more than 90 but less than 100 - is that bad, how bad?
Also, is there now an automatic 'Right to extension/renewal'?
Do you have to own the property for X years to acquire this right?
Can the vendors apply for an extension (without excessive cost) and transfer the right to purchasers?
Sorry for so many questions thanks for any help!
