Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Nationwide Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • My wife and I are in the throws of buying a property (a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat located inChantry with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years balance left. We found a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our informed us the lease only has sixety five years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we run 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?
