Some advice if I may. My Chinnor lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Chinnor conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. These Chinnor searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chinnor conveyancing searches.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Chinnor is more expensive?
Chinnor leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Chinnor I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chinnor in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price 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 twenty four months you could ask them to 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Chinnor. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Chinnor - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
