I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years old) in Scotter. Almost all the properties have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Scotter?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out Scotter 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 requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. If accelerating the process and expenses are primary concerns you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

As far as conveyancing in Scotter registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies.

Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
