I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Pelsall. The vast majority the flats are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Pelsall?
You would be taking a significant risk in not carrying out Pelsall 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 speed and expenses are top of your concerns you should consider with your conveyancer about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you
