I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Dingle. 95% of the appartments are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Dingle?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Dingle conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', 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 may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Dingle.
