The majority of flat owners in Shawbury will meet the qualifying criteria; however a conveyancing solicitor should be able to confirm if you are eligible for a lease extension.

It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
