I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Kingston Vale. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Kingston Vale. 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?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Kingston Vale conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Vale will provide you some helpful advice in this regard.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Kingston Vale relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the house.

Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I am purchasing my first flat in Kingston Vale with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Kingston Vale I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingston Vale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
