I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Llanrumney. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Llanrumney. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. 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 Llanrumney conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Llanrumney should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
