I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Eastbourne. I have been residing for the previous 15 years in Eastbourne. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Eastbourne conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do consider; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Eastbourne should provide you some sensible guidance concerning this.

I was pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Eastbourne to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Eastbourne 1st floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Eastbourne conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Eastbourne do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
