I am buying a property without a mortgage in Bounds Green. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Bounds Green. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement .

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bounds Green? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.
My apartment in Bounds Green is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Bounds Green I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bounds Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
