How much is the service charge and ground rent on the apartment? You should be aware that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be.
