    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. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. 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. Best to be warned whether a new roof is being installed or some other significant cost is due in the foreseeable future to be shared between the leasehold owners and may well materially increase the the maintenance charges or require a one off payment.
