I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Yaxley. 95% of the appartments are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Yaxley?
If you getting a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Yaxley conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, 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 demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Yaxley.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Yaxley bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Yaxley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
