I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Cranleigh. 95% of the flats have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Cranleigh?

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 Cranleigh conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, 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 demand 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 Cranleigh.
