If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would absolutely advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. Where accelerating the process and cost are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you

Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement.
