I am acquiring a house for cash in Farnham. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Farnham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Farnham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it may be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Farnham will be able to give you some sensible guidance concerning this.
