I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Leicestershire. Almost all the properties have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Leicestershire?
If you getting a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Leicestershire conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, 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 another solicitor for your conveyancing in Leicestershire.

Do double check with your property lawyer but it would appear that your solicitor is seeking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance.
