I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Harmondsworth. 95% of the properties are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Harmondsworth?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Harmondsworth 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 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 will need to change to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Harmondsworth.
