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. Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. 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.
