  • We are hoping to purchase a flat (a ground floor flat located inLonglands with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least 83 years remaining. We identified a flat we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our told us the lease only has 65 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do 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?
  • I require an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Longlands. She recently got a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too high.
