I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Feltwell. The vast majority the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Feltwell?

Where you are obtaining a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Feltwell conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this.

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 may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Feltwell.

You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
