I am buying a house for cash in Chaddesden. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Chaddesden. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Chaddesden conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Chaddesden should provide you some practical guidance here.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
