What is the name of the managing agents? Where a Filton lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term.

Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease.
