Leasehold Information
The property is held on a lease commencing 1 January 2012 and expiring 31 December 2162, with approximately 136 years remaining. A lease of this length is generally considered highly attractive to both owner-occupiers and mortgage lenders, providing long-term security and helping to protect the property's future marketability.

Service charge is payable at approximately £600.00p per annum. No ground rent is payable.

An additional benefit of this apartment is that it is being sold with a 25% Share of the Freehold. This means the owner will hold a share in the company or entity that owns the freehold of the building, alongside the other participating leaseholders. Share of freehold can offer a number of advantages, including greater control over the management and maintenance of the building, increased involvement in decisions relating to service charges and future works, and often makes lease extensions simpler and more cost-effective should they ever be required. It is a sought-after feature that can enhance both the property's desirability and long-term value.

Important Notice
The lease information above is provided as a guide only and has not been verified by Michaels Property Consultants. Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to ask their solicitor to verify all leasehold information, including the remaining lease term, share of freehold arrangements, service charge, ground rent (if applicable), management company details and any associated obligations or restrictions at the earliest stage of the conveyancing process to avoid any discrepancy or misunderstanding prior to exchange of contracts.
