Read entryI am purchasing 1 of 6 flats in a conversion property (due to exchange this week). I am buying a share of the freehold but the lease is 71 yrs now. My solicitor said that as we are not renewing the lease at the same time there may be a problem with this after and if we can’t renew it the flat may be unsellable.
