  • My husband and I are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat based inSouthend On Sea with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years outstanding. We identified a place we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our advised us the lease only has seventy four 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'm hoping for some assistance with regard to extending the lease on my flat. The plan is to do this in six months time as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Do I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
