  • Me and my wife are in the throws of buying a flat (a one bedroom apartment inKnebworth with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum 83 years remaining. We identified a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our advised us the lease only has seventy one 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?
