AssumingI was to purchase a freehold housein Chorlton cum Hardy mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy?

We own a leasehold flat in Chorlton cum Hardy. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too low. Is this right?
Chorlton cum Hardy residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - often just under one hundred years when they started. However many appartments in Chorlton cum Hardy were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have less than eighty years remaining. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
