I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years old) in High Holborn. The vast majority the appartments are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in High Holborn?
If you getting a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then High Holborn conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, 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 choose to instruct 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 High Holborn.

If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of High Holborn conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in High Holborn with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £400,000 apartment in High Holborn in just under a week.

High Holborn conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
