Overview

Our Regulated (Personal) Local Authority Search is the flagship product to which we attribute our longstanding success.

An essential part of every conveyancing transaction, OneSearch Prime will identify and confirm particulars about a property, which could have an impact its enjoyment or value.

The search consists of:

  • A search of the Local Land Charges Register; and
  • Local Authority responses designed to mirror the questions on the Law Society’s form CON29 (Standard Enquiries of Local Authority) (known as “Local Search Enquiries”).
