I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Manor Park. Almost all the properties are already sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Manor Park?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Manor Park 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 seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your lawyer conducts them. Where accelerating the process and expenses are top of your issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

I am selling our home in Manor Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park. We have lived in Manor Park for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Manor Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Manor Park come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Manor Park typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Manor Park or who has acted in the same development.
