I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in West Dean. 95% of the appartments are already sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in West Dean?
If you getting a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then West Dean conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, 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 choose to instruct 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 West Dean.
