I am buying a leasehold flat where the landlord is a Local Authority. The usual clauses that one would find in a lease are missing. Is the lease defective?

When you purchase a leasehold property under the right to buy, there are certain clauses which are implied into the lease.

This means that although the lease may not have these terms, if the lease was granted on or after 3 October 1980, will have standard clauses that are implied into such leases under the law.

You would need to ask your conveyancer to check the legislation to see whether the provisions under the legislation cover the issues and the defects that concern you.
