Severn Trent Searches, one of the leading providers of conveyancing searches in the Midlands, was a proud sponsor of the Local Land Charges Awards 2009, organised by Land Data, providers of land and property information to Local Authorities via a hub known as National Land Information Service (NLIS). Speaking about the awards, Mark Jarvis, General Manager of Severn Trent Searches and one of the awards judges said; “We felt it was important to give recognition to individuals and departments that are helping to both modernise and shape the conveyancing industry.”
“We sponsored the Customer Satisfaction Award for local authority searches, which recognised the Local Land Charges departments who have shown excellent service and customer satisfaction to their customers. For us this award best suited the relationship that we, as a search provider have with local authorities, particularly across our region.”
Severn Trent Searches provide a wide range of conveyancing searches for both commercial and residential properties, as well as offering both personal and official local authority searches.
Severn Trent Searches order and receive searches from all 72 local authorities within the Severn Trent region, as well as nationally, but are now working alongside local authorities within this region to supply LLC1 and CON29 searches direct. Working together with local authorities enables an improved service for searches, allows us to share industry knowledge and conduct joint marketing events.
The benefits to our customers are that we offer competitive prices, electronic ordering and account facilities, faster turnaround times on searches and the knowledge that they are receiving local authority searches direct from the data provider.
Nigel Hemmings, Land Charges Manager at Birmingham City Council says; 'We have been working with Severn Trent Searches for several years now and we have built up a great relationship which has helped to improve services to our customers.’
Mark Jarvis continues, “All of our direct LLC1 and CON29 searches are provided at the same price as if buying them directly from the local authority, as well as enabling a speedier service. Buying searches from Severn Trent Searches also gives the added benefit of using our trained after-sales customer service team.”
