IfI were to buy a simple residential homein Wolston mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Wolston?
The sole saving you would achieve is the costs for searches. The property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Wolston I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wolston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due.
