A valuation report is a brief report that involves an inspection but not a survey of the property. It is based on a limited inspection and it is advisable not to rely on it solely in making a decision on whether or not to purchase a property. It will not involve reporting on disrepair items unless they are essential enough to affect value or saleability.

A leasehold property is a diminishing asset and as its term reduces so does the value of the flat. The Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended) gives qualifying leaseholders the right to extend their lease by 90 years at a peppercorn rent.

To qualify you need to have owned the property continuously for the past two years, the lease must have been granted for a term of more than 21 years, and the flat must be a qualifying flat.It is not compulsory to have occupied the property during the previous two years and it is possible for the initial notice to be assigned with the lease when the flat is sold.
