Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum eighty five years remaining. We identified a place we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our informed us the lease only has sixety six years and thus 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?
