I am buying a property for cash in Axbridge. I have resided for the last 15 years in Axbridge. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Axbridge conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Axbridge should be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.

I bought my home on 3 March and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Axbridge expressed confidence that it will be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Axbridge particularly slow to register?
