I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Wedmore. Almost all the flats are already sold. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Wedmore?

If you getting a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Wedmore conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. 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 demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Wedmore.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Wedmore I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wedmore in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
