IfI were to buy a straightforward homein Bramhall mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Bramhall?
Any savings you would achieve will be limited to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary reason for hinderance in Bramhall conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Bramhall.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Bramhall I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bramhall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am intending to let out my leasehold apartment in Bramhall. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Notwithstanding that your last Bramhall conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
