I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Plasmarl. I have resided for the last Seventeen years in Plasmarl. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Plasmarl conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with day to day issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Plasmarl will provide you some sensible guidance here.
We are downsizing from our home in Plasmarl and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Plasmarl. We have lived in Plasmarl for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Plasmarl I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Plasmarl for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce 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 at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Why do Plasmarl conveyancing charges differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
There is always more work required in leasehold conveyancing. Plasmarl has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
