My Upton conveyancer has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Upton I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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.
