I am acquiring a property for cash in Staines. I have been residing for the previous 20 years in Staines. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Staines conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Staines should be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.
