Local Authority Searches
Local Authority searches are one of the basics required to ensure the information needed to complete successful property transactions is available at the right time. PINPoint combine experience with innovation to offer you fast, reliable information at competitive prices.
What is a Local Authority Search?
A Local Authority Search provides information for potential purchasers about the property they are interested in and its surrounding area. Data is gathered from the relevant Council and other relevant sources and is provided in two sections:
LLC1 - This is information from the Local Land Charges Register about charges relating to the property. Examples include:
- Conditions imposed when planning permission is granted
- Conservation Areas which restrict permitted development
- Smoke Control Orders made under the Clean Air Act, restricting which type of fuel may be burned
CON29R - Made up of a standard list of enquiries about issues that do not yet appear on the Land Charges Register, or which may not be registrable. Examples include:
- Planning policy statements
- Proposed enforcement action
- Proposed road or traffic schemes
