Your questions answered about selling short lease flats:

How much will I have to pay the Landlord?

The Landlord is entitled to receive compensation for the loss of the ground rent income to be paid under the current lease, together with the loss of the right to receive the value of the flat at the end of the current lease. In simple terms this is the difference in value of the Landlord’s interest today under the present lease, and the value of his interest after the grant of the new lease with the additional 90 years. He is also entitled to receive a share of the marriage value and compensation for loss arising from the grant of the new lease.

Why do I need to extend my Lease?

The need for your lease extension arises because as your lease gets shorter the value of your flat (or maisonette) will go down compared to a similar flat which has a long lease of, say, 100 years or more. This reduction in value is much less pronounced in the early years, but it’s when your lease gets to less than 80 years remaining that the real problems start.

Sell your flat with a short lease

We are experts at buying leasehold property where the lease length is below 80 years unexpired. At this point the flat’s value really starts reducing, and it steadily becomes less saleable. This is because the cost of purchasing a lease extension becomes significant and continues to rise, the flat will have less appeal to buyers, and mortgage lenders are increasingly unwilling to lend on flats with short leases.

So the longer you put off extending your lease means:

The flat will become relatively less valuable
The flat will become more difficult to sell on the open market
The cost of purchasing a lease extension will continue to increase
If you are selling a flat or maisonette with a short lease we would like to hear from you. We purchase all leasehold properties with short leases. We will be able to make you an offer the same day you call us and will buy your lease in its current form. Unlike our competitors we will not need to write to your freeholder to find out what your lease will cost to be extended.

    Do I need to extend my lease before selling?

    No, you do not need to extend your lease before selling. We buy flats with short leases exactly as they are, saving you the high costs and long wait times involved in lease extensions.

    No, there are zero fees or commissions when you sell to us. We cover all costs, including legal fees, so the cash offer you receive is exactly what you get.

    Can I sell a flat with a lease under 70 years?

    Yes! We specialise in buying flats with leases under 80 years and even under 70 years, which many traditional buyers or agents avoid.

    What documents do I need to provide?

    You’ll need basic property documents such as your lease details, ID, and any recent service charge or ground rent statements. We’ll guide you step-by-step so you never feel overwhelmed.

    What if I still live in the property?

    You can still sell. We can agree on a timeline that suits you, giving you time to move out or even negotiate staying temporarily if needed.

    Why should I choose Sell My House Fast UK over an estate agent?

    We offer a guaranteed cash offer, no hidden costs, and a fast completion without waiting for buyers or market uncertainties. Selling through an estate agent can take months and often involves fees and commissions deducted from your final sale price.
