AssumingI was to purchase a freehold homein Rusholme for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Rusholme?
Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the Rusholme conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rusholme costs more?
Rusholme leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Rusholme so that I can pop in to their offices if required.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Rusholme I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rusholme suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
