Why does leasehold matter so much here?
With 118 of 123 sold leasehold, almost every flat buyer in Stamford is buying a lease rather than the building.
GOV.UK's guide to leasehold property says a leaseholder owns the property for a fixed period, set by the lease, and that ownership returns to the landlord when the lease ends.
The same guide says the lease sets out how the service charge works, and that ground rent may be part of it.
GOV.UK's guide to buying a home lists the years left on the lease among the things to check before making an offer.
What to have ready if you own a leasehold flat
GOV.UK's leasehold guide sets out rights a leaseholder already has, which are also the papers a buyer will want to see.
- A summary showing how the service charge is worked out and what it is spent on. The guide says you have the right to ask for one, and to see the receipts behind it.
- The ground rent terms in the lease. For a lease granted before 30 June 2022, the guide says ground rent is not payable unless the landlord has sent a formal, written demand.
- The landlord's name and address, which the guide says you have the right to know.
This is general information, not legal advice; a conveyancer can tell you what your own lease says.
Three years of flat prices
| Twelve months to | Flats sold | Median |
|---|---|---|
| August 2024 | 43 | £200,000 |
| August 2025 | 51 | £175,000 |
| August 2026 | 29 | £170,000 |
Of the four types, flats saw the largest fall between the first and last periods, £30,000.
Read it with care: the latest year rests on 29 sales, and one development selling a run of smaller units would pull it down on its own. Past price changes do not tell you what will happen next.
