I am buying a property for cash in Castleford. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Castleford. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Castleford conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Castleford will provide you some constructive guidance in this regard.

It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
