I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Purton. I have lived for the last 15 years in Purton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of 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 Purton conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Purton should provide you some helpful guidance concerning this.
I'm the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Purton. The Purton property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Purton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Purton I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Purton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the 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 request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
