I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Primrose Hill. I have lived for the last 20 years in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Primrose Hill conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill will be able to give you some constructive advice concerning this.

We are downsizing from our property in Primrose Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill. We have lived in Primrose Hill for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Primrose Hill I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Primrose Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Primrose Hill property on the HMLR website. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they purchased the house there were complications concerning the post code not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of residences in Primrose Hill should be revealed. Have you attempted a search with just the postcode. Usually it should mention all the residences inside the postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
