I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Holyhead. The vast majority the flats are already sold. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Holyhead?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Holyhead conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, 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 it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Holyhead.
