I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years built) in North Ockendon. Almost all the appartments have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in North Ockendon?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in failing carrying out North Ockendon conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would strongly advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. If timings and expenses are top of your concerns you should consider with your solicitor about the possibility of search insurance
