I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Worplesdon. Almost all the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Worplesdon?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Worplesdon conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, 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 ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Worplesdon.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Worplesdon. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Worplesdon. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Worplesdon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
