Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial site in High Holborn?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in High Holborn will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in High Holborn.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in High Holborn I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in High Holborn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. 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 twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Is it best to appoint a High Holborn conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the conveyancing however her office is 300kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local High Holborn conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown High Holborn conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
