In the event thatI were to acquire a straightforward propertyin Kings Norton mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Kings Norton?

After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC needs to be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Kings Norton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kings Norton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
