My colleague recommended that if I am buying in Christchurch I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Christchurch I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Christchurch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 about this matter.
