Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Shotley Bridge conveyancing searches.

At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation if relevant. If there are any indications of material issues get a full structural survey.
