Is there a reason to instruct a Skegness conveyancing company when online alternatives are less expensive?

Last October we completed a house move in Skegness. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Skegness?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Skegness. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Skegness.

A colleague suggested that where I am buying in Skegness I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Skegness conveyancing searches.

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Skegness.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Skegness for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Skegness conveyancing specialists.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Skegness to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
