I am buying a house without a mortgage in Aylsham. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Aylsham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Aylsham conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Aylsham will be able to give you some sensible guidance concerning this.

How does conveyancing in Aylsham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Aylsham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Aylsham typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Aylsham or who has acted in the same development.
