  • Me and my husband are hoping to buy a property (a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat located inLea Bridge with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum eighty five years unexpired. We came across a flat we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our solicitors informed us the lease only has seventy five years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we walk 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?
