I am buying a property for cash in Lake. I have been residing for the previous dozen years in Lake. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Lake conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Lake will be able to give you some constructive advice here.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
