I am buying a house without a mortgage in Ponthir. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Ponthir. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Ponthir conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Ponthir should be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.

Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.
