I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Dartmouth. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Dartmouth?

If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Dartmouth conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, 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 insist that 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 Dartmouth.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I have been recommended by two or three local estate agents in Dartmouth to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Am I best advised to instruct a Dartmouth conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can execute the conveyancing but her office is 300miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Dartmouth conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Dartmouth conveyancing solicitor just because they are Dartmouth based.
