Council Local Authority Search
Council (Official) Local Authority Search
A local authority search, which will examine all of the local authority’s records pertaining to the subject land or property, is an important and often compulsory element of conveyancing.
A Council (Official) Local Authority Search is carried out by council officials and issued by the relevant department within the council.
The search will include all planning, building control and highways department data relating to the land or property, but it does not reveal planning applications relating to neighbouring or nearby land or property.
The Council (Official) Local Authority Search is delivered in three parts: Con29 enquiries, the LLC1 and, if required, the Con29 Part 2 enquiries, which are optional.
Searches UK offers 100 percent coverage of all councils within England and Wales to deliver Council (Official) Local Authority Searches.
