I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Kearsley. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Kearsley?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Kearsley conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, 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 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 Kearsley.
It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Kearsley. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Kearsley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
