In the event thatI were to acquire a freehold homein Farnham for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Farnham?

Any savings you would make will be limited to the Farnham conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.

I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Farnham. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Farnham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Farnham I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Farnham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
