I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Dunholme I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dunholme in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Two months into a sale of a flat in Dunholme. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the managing agents. So far we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for responses to questions raised by the purchaser's lawyer.
You will not have any say over the level of the bill for this information but the average fee for the information for Dunholme leasehold premises is £355. For Dunholme conveyancing sales it is conventional for the vendor to cover the charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates fixed charges for administrative tasks. There is no legal time limit by which they are required to provide answers.
