I am purchasing a house for cash in Urmston. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Urmston. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Urmston conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Urmston will provide you some constructive guidance here.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Urmston on 2/12/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.

Can the lender hold off the offer?
