This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Tavistock house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tavistock.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Tavistock I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tavistock for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

How simple is it to use the search tool to select a conveyancing practitioner in Tavistock on the panel for my lender?

First pick a bank such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, The Mortgage Works or Godiva Mortgages Ltd then type in your location a common one being Tavistock. Conveyancing organisations in Tavistock and further afield should be identified.
