Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Halifax giving us the mortgage now?

  • We are hoping to purchase a home (a ground floor flat located inPortslade with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least eighty five years residual lease term. We came across a flat we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has seventy years and thus requires 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?
