I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Oxford. 95% of the properties are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Oxford?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Oxford conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this.

Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Oxford.
