I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Waltham Cross. The vast majority the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Waltham Cross?
If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Waltham Cross conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. 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 insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Waltham Cross.

Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Waltham Cross. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
