I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in South Acton. Almost all the appartments are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in South Acton?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then South Acton conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. 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 it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in South Acton.
