I am buying a property without a mortgage in Trafford. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Trafford. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Trafford conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Trafford should provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Trafford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Trafford I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Trafford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Trafford or or elsewhere in the country.
