I am buying a house for cash in Holmrook. I have been living for the last twelve years in Holmrook. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Holmrook conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this.

Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook should be able to give you some practical guidance here.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Holmrook is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Holmrook are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Holmrook you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Holmrook may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Holmrook, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Holmrook with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2101
You have 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
