  • Me and my sister are proceeding with a purchase of a ground floor flat in Kingsdown. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (62 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Yorkshire Building Society won't lend on a lease?
