CON29DW Residential Drainage and Water Enquiry
The official, Law Society-approved drainage and water search. 25 comprehensive questions and answers covering a property's services and nearby assets.
A local authority search is essential when buying a property. It provides critical information about legal restrictions, planning permissions, building regulations, and potential developments that could affect the property and its value. It ensures your client is fully informed about local issues, helping them make confident, well-informed decisions before committing to a purchase.
We offer an ‘Official’ search directly from the relevant local authority in England and Wales. What’s more, if your client’s property is in the Severn Trent region, we can provide the search at the same price as many local authorities.
We also offer ‘Regulated’ searches from OneSearch Direct and CDS.
‘Official’ searches come directly from the local authority, which is also responsible for their accuracy. ‘Regulated’ searches are provided by a third party who accesses local authority data on your behalf, which can sometimes be quicker, and they are also liable for its accuracy.

I want to thank Christine for going above and beyond with my query which was meant for Severn Trent Water. I very much appreciate your assistance.
Absolutely Brilliant information provided in a matter of minutes, unfortunately the information you hold did not contain the answers I needed i.e. the map did not show the drainage information needed. Certainly not the fault of your customer services individual though.
After my recent experiences with large organisations, it was a breath of fresh air to speak to a real person who answered the phone promptly and was both courteous and professional in dealing with my enquiry. Thank you.
Jane was very helpful and informative in regard to my enquiry, thank you.
Corina handled my enquiry. The response was swift and precise, and it was one of the nicest and most polite way of saying ‘No’ that I can recall being given! Thank you for your service. Corina is a credit to you.
