Commercial local authority search (LLC1 and CON29R)

A local authority search is a crucial step in the property-buying process. It delivers key insights into legal restrictions, planning permissions, building regulations, and potential future developments that could impact the property and its value. This ensures your client is fully aware of local factors, empowering them to make confident and informed decisions before completing their purchase.

We provide ‘Official’ searches directly from the relevant local authorities in England and Wales. For properties in the Severn Trent region, we can offer these searches at prices comparable to those of many local authorities.

Additionally, we offer ‘Regulated’ searches through trusted providers such as OneSearch Direct. While ‘Official’ searches are prepared and guaranteed by the local authority, ‘Regulated’ searches are completed by third parties using local authority data. These can sometimes be quicker, with the third party assuming full responsibility for their accuracy.
