What is the name of the managing agents? How long is the Lease? If a Whaley Bridge lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Whaley Bridgelease extensions you would be be obliged to have owned the property for two years in order to be eligible to extend the lease.
