What Are House Buying Searches?

One of the first steps to buying a house after your offer has been accepted is to order searches on the property.

But what are house buying searches, and why are they so important?

House buying searches are checks carried out on a property before you buy it. They usually cost a couple of hundred pounds (approx. £200-300) and can provide highly valuable information about the property.

There are three main searches your solicitor will order for you when you buy a house:

1. Local authority searches

2. Environmental searches

3. Water and drainage searches

But what kind of issues will a search identify? Should everyone get a house buying search done?

Watch Mike’s advice video to find out exactly what a search is, what issues it could identify, and whether you should get one done.
