Understand the CON29DW
Introduction
CON29DW is a report that provides details about the water and sewerage infrastructure for residential or commercial properties in England.
Our comprehensive, Law Society-approved CON29DW Drainage and Water report is produced in-house for the Severn Trent region and is typically delivered to you in less than half a day.
If Severn Trent does not serve your client, don’t worry; we can still provide you with a report covering that area. If you’re unsure which water company serves your prospective buyer’s property, you can find out here.
