Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out North Ockendon conveyancing searches.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in North Ockendon I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Ockendon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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 lawyer about this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in North Ockendon. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in North Ockendon - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
