I am buying a property for cash in Papworth Everard. I have resided for the last 15 years in Papworth Everard. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Papworth Everard conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with no practical issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Papworth Everard should provide you some helpful guidance concerning this.

I'm selling a apartment in Papworth Everard. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
