I am purchasing a house for cash in Silsoe. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Silsoe. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

How does conveyancing in Silsoe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Silsoe approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Silsoe tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Silsoe or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Silsoe I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Silsoe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
