I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Lingfield. Almost all the flats have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Lingfield?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Lingfield conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. 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 you will need to swap to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Lingfield.
