  • Me and my sister had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Shenstone. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (65 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The owner apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the seller intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that The Mortgage Works won't lend on a lease?
