Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Ware.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Ware I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ware in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
We are in the middle of buying a property in Ware. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our HSBC valuation?
Ware conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
