I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Lancaster. The vast majority the properties have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Lancaster?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Lancaster 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 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 ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Lancaster.

I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Lancaster. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
