I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Shooter's Hill. Almost all the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Shooter's Hill?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Shooter's Hill conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, 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 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 Shooter's Hill.
