Think your property search covers everything? Think again.

Think your property search covers everything? Think again.
When you buy a property, you expect the searches to uncover all the risks, right? But here’s the uncomfortable truth: not all property searches are created equal.

Too many buyers assume that because their solicitor orders a “standard” search, they’re covered. But hidden dangers can slip through the cracks, including:
🚨 Planning restrictions that could stop future renovations in their tracks
🌊 Flood risks that don’t appear in basic reports but could skyrocket insurance costs
🏗️ Pending developments that could turn a quiet neighbourhood into a construction site
⏳ Historic land use issues that could impact property values and future resale

The worst part? Most buyers don’t know what’s missing until it’s too late. The difference between a good and a bad search isn’t just a report—it’s local expertise, thorough investigation, and knowing where to dig deeper.
💡 So, are you really protected? Or are you relying on a system that leaves too much to chance?
Let’s talk about the questions buyers SHOULD be asking—drop your thoughts below!
