I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in North Cornelly. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in North Cornelly?
If you getting a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then North Cornelly conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in North Cornelly.

I'm purchasing a new build house in North Cornelly with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in North Cornelly I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Cornelly in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
