I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Ponders End. The vast majority the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Ponders End?
You are putting yourself at risk in refusing to carrying out Ponders End 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 strongly advise in no uncertain terms that your solicitor conducts them. Where time pressures and price are top of your issues you should consider with your conveyancer about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you
