I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Langland. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Langland. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Langland conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches determine. On occasion properties with functional issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Langland will provide you some practical guidance here.
