- Make sure your lease is over 80 years - Make sure you have all contact details of the management company together, especially if it is a large company - Make sure marketing details are correct (for example if it is a TFF and the agent has said that you own the loft space, make sure that you actually do. Dont just assume). - Clarify any parking rights at the property - Make sure you are up to date with your ground rent etc payments

Last answer sounds like buying. Clearly a seller can't change length of lease. Only two points. 1. Make sure GR up-to-date, and if a flat SC as well. 2. If lease <80 years, the price you ask will have to reduce, the less lease, the less price.

To the person above. Clearly the person selling CAN change the lease period. They can contact the freeholder and extend it.

Thank you both for your answers, very helpful. The lease in this case is 999 years so no problem there! Not sure what SC is but this is a ground floor flat.
