I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Newark on Trent. Almost all the appartments are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Newark on Trent?
If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Newark on Trent conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, 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 change to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Newark on Trent.
