I am acquiring a house for cash in East Twickenham. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in East Twickenham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the East Twickenham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance.

A competent conveyancing solicitor in East Twickenham will provide you some practical guidance in this regard.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in East Twickenham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in East Twickenham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in East Twickenham?
Conveyancing - in East Twickenham or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems before you move in.
