Knowing how long your searches are going to take is vital to ensuring that completion timescales can be met. Everyone that moves home has a desired moving date that likely gets agreed during negotiations. BUT, if the Local Searches are going to take far longer that expected, things can be delayed or at worst, derailed. It is always a good idea to have all of the facts available during negotiations so that realistic and achievable dates are set and agree upon.

Then, if you come to sell in the future or need to check something, everything is easy to find. Another useful feature is the ability to set reminders for yourself. Never forget the big things, like when your mortgage term is nearing a close so you can look again for the best deals. Or set it to keep track of the small, but just as important things, like checking the smoke alarm batteries or gas safety checks. Extra features include being able to keep track of the property market and house prices in your area without hunting around all over the Internet for the right information. If you do sell, our integrated hazard checker will show you what the solicitors will present your buyers.
