I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Claverley. The vast majority the flats are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Claverley?
If you getting a mortgage, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Claverley conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Claverley.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Claverley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Claverley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated 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 may ask them to start the process of the extension 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 solicitor concerning this.

I own a leasehold house in Claverley. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Claverley who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?

There is no need to instruct a Claverley conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
