  • We are hoping to acquire a home (a garden flat located inEllesmere with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 84 years unexpired. We came across a flat we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our solicitors informed us the lease only has 65 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?
