My Cheddleton solicitor has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Cheddleton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cheddleton suitable, 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 may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Cheddleton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
