There
are a number of pre-contract searches, which are undertaken by the solicitor
and should be concluded in time for the completion to take place.
The type of searches, which are instructed by the solicitor, can vary
depending on the area of the country or location within an area in which
the property is being purchased. If obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage
lender's instructions will also determine which searches have to be carried
out to satisfy their requirements.
