I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Oakleigh Park. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Oakleigh Park?

If you getting a mortgage, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Oakleigh Park conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, 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 will need to change to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Oakleigh Park.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Oakleigh Park. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Oakleigh Park involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Oakleigh Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Oakleigh Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oakleigh Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oakleigh Park may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
