In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chesham? What am I being asked for?

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Chesham I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease.

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
