I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Christchurch. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

My colleague recommended that if I am buying in Christchurch I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Christchurch conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Christchurch Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Christchurch.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Christchurch I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Christchurch suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor 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. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
