I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Stocksbridge. I have been residing for the last dozen years in Stocksbridge. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Stocksbridge conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Stocksbridge should be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Stocksbridge I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stocksbridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require 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 existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I am in the process of buying my 1st home in Stocksbridge. Conveyancing practitioner already appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the property was only built 16 yrs ago.
You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
