I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Killay. 95% of the properties are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Killay?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Killay conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, 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 you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Killay.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Killay to find Conveyancing in Killay in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire block - which is definitely preferable. Do contact your solicitor but it would seem that your lawyer is attempting to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance.
