  • We are in the throws of buying a flat (a maisonette located inSparkhill with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum 84 years residual lease term. We came across a place we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancing practitioners advised us the lease only has sixety nine years and thus needs a lease extension. Do 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?
