I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Becontree Heath. I have been residing for the last twelve years in Becontree Heath. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Becontree Heath conveyancing searches are at your discretion.

Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Becontree Heath should provide you some sensible guidance concerning this.
How does conveyancing in Becontree Heath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Becontree Heath approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Becontree Heath tend to buy the land, 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 Becontree Heath or who has acted in the same development.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Becontree Heath. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Becontree Heath - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
