I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Southwick. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Southwick?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Southwick conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, 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 you will need to swap to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Southwick.

A high street Southwick conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Southwick. We have lived in Southwick for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
