I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Bovey Tracey. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Bovey Tracey?
You are putting yourself at risk in refusing to carrying out Bovey Tracey conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. If accelerating the process and expenses are top of your concerns you should consider with your lawyer about the viability of search insurance

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bovey Tracey is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Bovey Tracey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bovey Tracey may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
