I am buying a house for cash in Thames View. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Thames View. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Thames View conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this.

On occasion properties with functional issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Thames View will be able to give you some constructive guidance here.

I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Thames View. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thames View and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

I own a leasehold flat in Thames View. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too short. Why is that a problem?
Thames View residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Thames View were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
