I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Albany Park. The vast majority the appartments have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Albany Park?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Albany Park conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. 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 choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Albany Park.
