A relative advised me that where I am purchasing in Peckham I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Peckham Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Peckham.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Peckham I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Peckham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could 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 current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Peckham. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Peckham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Following months of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Peckham. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Peckham conveyancing firm who can help.
