I am about to put a bid on a leasehold property in Whalley. The selling agents tell me that it is usual for flats in Whalley to have less than 75 years remaining. I am getting a mortgage with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 72 years unexpired.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 22/11/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Whalley in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a mortgage on this type of premises.
