I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years built) in Stapleford. 95% of the appartments have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Stapleford?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Stapleford conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would absolutely advise in no uncertain terms that your lawyer conducts them. Where speed and driving down costs are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Stapleford I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stapleford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
