  • I own a maisonette in Bardsley that I am finding difficult to sell as a result of the lease needing a lease extension. How long will it take ?
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not an issue.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
