We identified a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent assured that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our advised us the lease only has 61 years and thus 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 am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Walmley as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
