I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Harlesden. Almost all the flats have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Harlesden?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in not carrying out Harlesden conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. Where speed and cost are top of your issues you should consider with your solicitor about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you
