How many years are left on the lease? If a Burton Latimer lease has no more than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term.

Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease.
