I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Cookley. The vast majority the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Cookley?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Cookley 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 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 Cookley.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Cookley with a loan from Barclays Direct. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
