I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Yarm On Tees. Almost all the properties are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Yarm On Tees?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Yarm On Tees conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, 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 insist 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 Yarm On Tees.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Yarm On Tees I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Yarm On Tees suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
