IfI was to purchase a freehold propertyin Twyford for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Twyford?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the costs for searches. A property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.
It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Twyford. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Twyford involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Twyford. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Twyford - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Twyford Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

Does this lease have in excess of 90 years unexpired? You should be aware if it is fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Twyfordlease extensions you would be required to have owned the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Twyford.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as usual as all rents and service payments will be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
