    Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
