  • Me and my wife are in the throws of buying a property (a garden flat inHarrow on the Hill with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 83 years unexpired. We identified a flat we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our conveyancing practitioners informed us the lease only has seventy three years and therefore 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?
