I am buying a house for cash in Thorne. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Thorne. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Thorne conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to consider; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Thorne should be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Thorne. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?

This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Thorne conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Thorne assessors

Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Thorne can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have instructed a Thorne conveyancer having checked that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Thorne postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Thorne.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Thorne I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Thorne in this price bracket, 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 may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
