If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Pudsey to discover Conveyancing in Pudsey in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire premises - which is clearly preferable. Do double check with your lawyer but it would appear that your lawyer is attempting to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
