I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Leegomery. I have lived for the last dozen years in Leegomery. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Leegomery conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still show up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Leegomery should provide you some sensible advice in this regard.
I am downsizing from our property in Leegomery and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leegomery. Having lived in Leegomery for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Leegomery I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leegomery in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
