Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Stretford I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Stretford?
Conveyancing - in Stretford or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you move in.
