I am acquiring a house for cash in Aughton. I have been residing for the last Seventeen years in Aughton. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Aughton conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with apparent issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Aughton will be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.
