I am acquiring a property for cash in Eccleston and St Helens. I have lived for the last 20 years in Eccleston and St Helens. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Eccleston and St Helens conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with functional issues can still throw up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Eccleston and St Helens should be able to give you some sensible advice here.

What does a local search inform me concerning the house I am purchasing in Eccleston and St Helens?

Eccleston and St Helens conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example PSG The local search is essential in every Eccleston and St Helens conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Eccleston and St Helens I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Eccleston and St Helens in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
