OneSearch DW

Supplied by: OneSearch Direct

The OneSearch DW report is a key search in residential transactions, supporting you with the essential drainage and water insights needed for confident client advice. We’ve refreshed the report’s layout to make critical information easier to absorb and navigate, helping you move from data to decisions with greater speed and clarity.

For more than 15 years, OneSearch DW has provided reliable, consistent due diligence for conveyancers nationwide. Today, it’s even clearer, more intuitive, and backed by strengthened insurance protection.

This report has been prepared specifically for use in connection with an individual residential property transaction. It is not intended to support or inform decisions related to property development.

What’s New in the 2026 Design Refresh

Our latest update introduces a more streamlined, modern structure that reduces visual noise and keeps the most important details front and centre:

• New Summary Page
• Cleaner, Uniform Layout
• Clickable Hyperlinks
• Reduced Cognitive Load

The report consists of two main sections: Drainage Enquiries and Water Enquiries.

The addition of insurance, from Stewart Title Ltd, means our search is now an even more comprehensive alternative to the CON29DW. The following questions will be insured:

• Q2.4.1: Does the public sewer map indicate any pumping station or any other ancillary apparatus within the boundaries of the property?
• Q2.5.1: Does the public sewer map indicate any public pumping station or any other ancillary apparatus within 50 meters of any buildings within the property?
• Q2.8: Is the building which is or forms part of the property, at risk of internal folding due to overloaded public sewers?
• Q2.9: Please state the distance from the property to the nearest boundary of the nearest sewage treatment works?
• Q3.4: Is the property at risk of receiving low water pressure or flow?
• Q4.5: Will the basis for charging for sewerage and water services at the property change as a consequence of a change of occupation?

This search is backed by a comprehensive PI policy, which will safeguard solicitors against any mistakes that may originate from water company datasets. It will also extend the same protection against the unlikely event of errors and omissions by OneSearch Direct. Security is further strengthened with the inclusion of 6 years run-off cover, which ensures that any relevant claims are still honoured.
