I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Blaenau Gwent. 95% of the flats have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent?
If you getting a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Blaenau Gwent conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. 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 you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent.
