Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum eighty five years outstanding. We identified a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our solicitors told us the lease only has 79 years and thus needs a lease extension. Should 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?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Dunston as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
