I am purchasing a house for cash in Kingston Vale. I have been residing for the previous twelve years in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Kingston Vale conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Vale should be able to give you some practical guidance here.

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be archived with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Kingston Vale involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
