I am purchasing a house for cash in Keston. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Keston. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Keston 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. One thing to consider; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Keston will be able to give you some sensible guidance in this regard.
