I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Tower Hill. Almost all the flats are already sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Tower Hill?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Tower Hill conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, 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 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 Tower Hill.
