I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Seaton Delaval. Almost all the flats are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Seaton Delaval?
If you getting a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Seaton Delaval conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, 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 choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Seaton Delaval.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Seaton Delaval 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
