  • We are hoping to purchase a property (a maisonette based inBerkeley with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum eighty five years residual lease term. We came across a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our advised us the lease only has 61 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • We currently own a one bed flat in Berkeley and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 61 years left.
