AssumingI was to acquire a simple residential propertyin Bramhall mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bramhall?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the costs for searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Bramhall.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Bramhall I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bramhall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Bramhall basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Bramhall conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Bramhall do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
