Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water and Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million.Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town) in particular is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links with Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Reading Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Should you buy a leasehold property with a short lease?
Leasehold properties with short leases – i.e. anything less than 80 years – can sometimes be found on the market and are normally sold for much less than comparable properties with leases of more than 80 years.
You may be tempted to buy such a property but you should be aware of the following:
- you may find it very difficult to get a lender to provide you with a mortgage to buy the property or to remortgage it;
- if you don't manage to get the lease extended yourself, you may find the property very difficult to sell; and
- if the lease falls below 20 years and you've lived in your property for less than a year, you cannot take the 'formal route' to a lease extension; which means that you cannot ultimately guarantee that you'll get a lease extension.
