I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Bradley Stoke. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Bradley Stoke. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Bradley Stoke conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bradley Stoke should provide you some practical advice in this regard.
A colleague suggested that if I am buying in Bradley Stoke I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Bradley Stoke Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Bradley Stoke.
How does conveyancing in Bradley Stoke differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bradley Stoke come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Bradley Stoke usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bradley Stoke or who has acted in the same development.
