In England, searches in land transactions cover checking the title and any restrictions or liabilities that affect a property. A solicitor conducts and interprets Local Authority searches, water and drainage searches, environmental searches, and chancel repair liability checks, plus any official copies from the Land Registry and title plan. They liaise with the client, the seller, lenders and the local authority, and they assess how findings could affect conveyancing, planning consent, or future use of the property.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Local Authority searches reveal planning notices, building regulations, and listed status; environmental searches flag contamination or flood risk; drainage and water searches confirm connections and tariffs; title and indemnity searches uncover rights, burdens, and boundaries; all results inform the contracts, mortgage conditions, and completion risk. A solicitor verifies the evidence, coordinates responses, and advises on remedies or adjustments.

Kimberley Osborne and her team were super helpful and patient in guiding me through the process of purchasing my first home. Always answered all my questions immediately and explained parts of the process I didn't understand. Would highly recommend them for future home buyers.
