Our solicitor has recommended us not to do searches (water/drainage, enviromental, flood etc) other than the local authority search as the developer would have done all these in order to obtain planning permission - is that right?

Yes we are buying with a mortgage - no the solicitor has yet to put that in writing - but I'll ask them to.AnnieO1234 wrote: »Are you buying with a mortgage?

The chances are the mortgage company wouldn't allow it in any event, searches have to be done within in believe 6 months so the old searches may not even be relevant anymore.
FWIW I wouldn't risk it even if it was a cash purchase. But make sure to get them to put it in writing as that just seems, "iffy" xx0
