I am buying a house mortgage free in Gnosall. I have lived for the last twelve years in Gnosall. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Gnosall conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to do this.

There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Gnosall will be able to give you some helpful guidance here.

    How much is the ground rent and service charge? The majority of Gnosall leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the building invoiced on behalf of the freeholder. If you buy the apartment you will have to meet this contribution, normally periodically during the year. This can vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks.
