  • I will soon view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy years residual lease term on the lease.

  • Me and my OH had entered into buying a one bedroom apartment in Stansted. I was advised that the lease had been extended (sixety seven years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The seller apparently has a quote but no money to extend as a result the owner wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Skipton Building Society won't lend on a lease?
