You would be taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Sunbury On Thames conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your solicitor conducts them. If accelerating the process and driving down costs are primary issues you should discuss with your conveyancer about the possibility of search insurance
