In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Henleaze conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Henleaze will provide you some helpful guidance here.

Should I be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Henleaze conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Henleaze land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that back in the 60’s when they bought the bungalow there were complications regarding Henleaze not being identified on some systems.

The vast majority of properties in Henleaze should appear. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will reveal all the properties inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
