For example, the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a lender.

There is a worrying creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Esher and Claygate I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Esher and Claygate suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Esher and Claygate with the intention of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Esher and Claygate can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. A minority of Esher and Claygate leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Esher and Claygate state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance.
