Top 10 of 1,319 law firms for Searches, Land Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

I highly recommend this solicitors, I had a dispute with my neighbour and Rob Boon overturned a wrongly given adverse possession therefore preventing development of the land. Throughout the process I received excellent communication, he was extremely professional and provided me with advice and support throughout.

Louise Langabeer

Tagged solicitor Louise Langabeer

We engaged Slee Blackwell to act for us in the sale of our house. We required an easement to be drawn up and a plan correction at the Land Registry before the usual legal formalities could take place. The conveyancing team were sympathetic to our anxious state, explained the process clearly and kept us informed at every stage. They patiently dealt with the forensic enquiries of (in my opinion) a very trying buyer and kept smiling through a tense and anxious engagement with The Land Registry.
