My colleague suggested that where I am buying in Edgbaston I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Edgbaston conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Edgbaston around the property and the people living there.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Edgbaston I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edgbaston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying 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 owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a house in Cardiff but I am based in Edgbaston. My solicitor (approximately 250 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Edgbaston who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Edgbaston based
I bought a property in Edgbaston last 6/11/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have contacted HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
