I am buying a house for cash in Sea Mills. I have lived for the last dozen years in Sea Mills. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Sea Mills conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Sea Mills should provide you some constructive guidance concerning this.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Sea Mills and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sea Mills. Having lived in Sea Mills for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sea Mills is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Sea Mills are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sea Mills you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sea Mills may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
