I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Macclesfield. 95% of the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Macclesfield?
You would be taking a significant risk in not carrying out Macclesfield conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would absolutely advise in the strongest possible terms that your lawyer conducts them. If speed and driving down costs are primary issues you should consider with your solicitor about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you

My partner and I may need to let out our Macclesfield garden flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Macclesfield conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Macclesfield conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
