The range of North Cave conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately appreciate what information each search could give you. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that information. Where you are unsure, ask the solicitor to recommend.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in North Cave. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
