Property Searches - Everything you need to know.

This is an updated and improved version of our early video.

Buying a home is an investment in your future.
You need to find out as much as you can about the property you are buying before you decide to go ahead.

You can do some of the local and visual investigations yourself; you would be sensible to get a surveyor to look at the structure and the functioning of the house and its services.

As part of the legal due diligence process, your lawyer will carry out various searches on the property.

The decision as to what searches are needed will depend on where the property is located and your mortgage lender requirements.
Common searches include:
Local Authority Search
Environmental searches
Drainage & Water searches
Local planning application searches
Searches that investigate mining in the area
Searches that reveal infrastructure projects

Our lawyers will help to make sure you have the correct searches carried out on the property and that all potential issues are identified, highlighted and resolved where possible to you so you have peace of mind.

Don't leave the biggest investment of your life up to chance!
