  • I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Berwick Upon Tweed, where the lease is circa sixety years but she was advised by the selling agents that the owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the flat owner was holding off for her to appoint solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • Me and my fiance had entered into buying a one bedroom apartment in Berwick Upon Tweed. I was advised that the lease had been extended (seventy eight years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The vendor apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
