I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Blandford Forum. I have been residing for the last 15 years in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Blandford Forum conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes properties with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum will be able to give you some practical advice concerning this.
