Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Branston.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Branston in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Branston. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Branston. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
