Property Searches

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but we are in the middle of buying a house. It is around 26 years old and is one of many houses built at that time.

My husband does not want to bother with property searches but I am concerned about this although I agree it is most unlikely to be effected by fracking, mining, wind farms or flooding etc.

I would appreciate Grans views please

If any land nearby belongs to the Local Authority, I believe they can give themselves permission to build without notifying the public. They did that here.

Boundary disputes don’t show up on searches, as I said.

As I said we were told that it would have to be revealed to any prospective purchaser and the fact that we did not have full title for twelve years that would show up at the land registry
My original point was check your boundaries for yourself Since that time we have visited adjoining propane land owners and have avoided any issues No one has objected to us doing it

Definitely have searches not only outside my neighbour didn’t and they didn’t know front boundaries and inside needed complete rewire and other faults .Better safe than sorry

Searches seem to be getting confused with surveys.

I know - and several people have tried to explain.
