Local Authority Searches

A local authority search is essentially an application for an official search of the Local Authority's records, for written confirmation or a certificate disclosing matters or encumbrances affecting the land.

Where a lease is being granted or conveyancing takes place, a local authority search should be undertaken.

Typical information that might be revealed by a local authority search includes: (i) Ownership of roads and sewers affecting the property. (ii) Any road widening schemes in the vicinity of the property. (iii) Any breaches of planning legislation. (iv) A history of the planning applications made in respect of the property. (v) Details of any pending Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO's). (vi) Any smoke control orders.
