I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Stapleford. 95% of the appartments have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Stapleford?
If you getting a mortgage, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Stapleford conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Stapleford.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Stapleford which have about fifty years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
