Property searches check different aspects that may negatively affect the houses value. The results will check the quality of the ground, check for flooding risk, drain access, access rights and whether planning permission may be granted for further land development. The searches must be completed and approved before the exchange contracts. If you plan on remortgaging, lenders won’t need property searches made.
