I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Fradley. 95% of the flats are already sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Fradley?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Fradley conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, 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 insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Fradley.

How does conveyancing in Fradley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Fradley come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Fradley usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Fradley or who has acted in the same development.
