I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Dunmow. I have been living for the previous 20 years in Dunmow. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Dunmow conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Dunmow should provide you some constructive advice concerning this.

Last December I purchased a leasehold house in Dunmow. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
