Which Property Searches Do You Need?
When buying a property in Hitchin, the large expenditure you intend to make should illustrate how much care is needed to investigate any possible risks and issues that could affect the price of the property.
Ordering searches are essential to investigate any potential threats that may affect the property and its surrounding area. These can highlight issues with radon gas seepage, planning permissions, preservation orders, flooding risks, subsidence and pollution.
Therefore, we highly recommend that you book at least four searches from the North Hertfordshire District Council: local authority, environmental, drainage and chancel repair.
Even so, your conveyancing solicitor can advise you if any additional searches are flagged up, such as Flood Risk, Mining or HS2 Report.
