I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being difficult. The Grasmere solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate.

The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Grasmere I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Grasmere in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
