I am buying a house for cash in Devon. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Devon. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Devon conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of interest to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still reveal unexpected search results.A good conveyancing solicitor in Devon will be able to give you some helpful guidance here.

I am 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Devon. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and ensure the loan are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid added costs and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
