I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Chilwell. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Chilwell. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Chilwell conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches reveal.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Chilwell solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
