  • I am going to purchase a flat in Withernsea. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’s property lawyers has served the Section 42 Notice.

  • We are hoping to acquire a home (a 2 bed flat based inWithernsea with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least 83 years left. We identified a flat we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our property lawyers told us the lease only has 58 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we reduce our offer?
