I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Clarborough. 95% of the properties are already occupied. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Clarborough?
If you getting a mortgage, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Clarborough conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, 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 insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Clarborough.

- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Clarborough can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. Some Clarborough leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is ongoing. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Clarborough home move. If a reissued share is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to verify this via your lawyers.

It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
