 In this episode, Ruban Selvanayagam dives deep into the world of short lease properties with Jason Patterson, the Short Lease Flat Mentor. Jason has been operating in the property investing world for over 20 years, starting with flats in North London when houses were financially out of reach. Through his journey, he discovered the critical steps top follow when extending leases, particularly the "marriage value" that impacts properties with leases below 80 years. Jason shares his firsthand experience of extending leases and the strategies he’s developed, including voluntary and Section 42 notices to maximise property value. He highlights the complexities involved, from liaising with freeholders to ensuring optimum due diligence when buying short lease properties alongside tips on how to sell properties . We’ll also touch on his adaptive methods during market shifts and how he navigated through challenges like the 2008 credit crunch. Additionally, we discuss the 2024 Leasehold and Freehold Reform, its potential impact on the property market and why implementation may take up to five years due to legal challenges. Jason offers advice for sellers on extending leases to optimise property prices and shares how he scales his business through networking, direct vendor approaches, and strong partnerships with industry contacts. #ShortLeaseFlats #ShortLeaseProperties #BuyingShortLeaseFlats #SellingShortLeaseFlats #LeaseholdandFreeholdReformAct
