I’m excited to share that I’ve been featured in Blue Bricks magazine, where I had the chance to dive deep into the short lease extension strategy—a powerful tool for adding value to property deals. In the article, I discuss how understanding and working with short lease properties can turn what many see as a challenge into a major investment opportunity.

The feature covers key topics like marriage value, which can significantly increase a property’s worth once the lease is extended beyond 80 years. I also explain the practical steps involved, from negotiating with freeholders to serving Section 42 notices, and provide tips on conducting proper due diligence when buying or selling short lease properties.

In addition, I share my own journey, starting with my early investments in North London flats and how short lease properties became a cornerstone of my property career. The article also explores the broader market, including how changes like the 2024 Leasehold and Freehold Reform could impact this strategy in the coming years.

For those new to short leases or looking to expand their knowledge, the article offers valuable insights on how to navigate this niche and unlock its potential. You can read the full feature here
