I am buying a house for cash in St John's Wood. I have resided for the previous twelve years in St John's Wood. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the St John's Wood conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement .

On occasion properties with functional issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in St John's Wood will provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in St John's Wood.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in St John's Wood. There are those who buy a house in St John's Wood, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in St John's Wood. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect response. A buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in St John's Wood 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in St John's Wood I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in St John's Wood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
