We found a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our advised us the lease only has 64 years and thus 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?
