I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender National Westminster Bank. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • We are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat inStorrington with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years left on the lease. We identified a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our lawyers informed us the lease only has 61 years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
