I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years old) in Hayes. 95% of the flats are already sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Hayes?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Hayes conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, 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 ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Hayes.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Hayes
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Hayes conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
