I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Eden Park. Almost all the properties are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Eden Park?
If you getting a mortgage, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Eden Park conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, 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 Eden Park.
