The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Mayfair I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Mayfair in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Mayfair
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Mayfair conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
