I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Streatham. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Streatham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Streatham conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still throw up detrimental search results.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Streatham I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Streatham for this price, 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 that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
