I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Sevenoaks I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease.

My wife and I intend to buy our 1st property in Sevenoaks. Conveyancing solicitor has been selected. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only built 22 years ago.
You would be best advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation if relevant. Where there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
