But the term does not change and, as years go by, the lease will reduce in length and in value, becoming less attractive to mortgage lenders.

What is the oldest year you can lease a car?

Can you get a mortgage on a flat with a 70 year lease?

Perhaps your landlord sold the commercial property that your business is in while the lease agreement is still active.
