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.

Alex Wright

Tagged solicitor Alex Wright

I used the Billericay branch of Fisher Jones and Greenwood LLP for a complicated remortgage and transfer of equity. My solicitor and his pa kept me updated and replied to emails and phone calls which provided reassurance. Alex ensured everything happened in a timely manner and ensured things went through all the right procedures. I would be confident to use them again in the future

Diane Latham

Tagged solicitor Diane Latham

Diane was recommended to me by a lovely lady who sources properties for investors. From start to finish Diane & her lovely assistant Sara have been very helpful, professional & dealt with matters very quickly. This property purchase has been the quickest I've encountered! Diane also took the time to see me in person to explain everything to me as the lending company is not a mortgage company & she wanted to make sure I understood everything & was happy to go through with the purchase. She actually cares that her clients are fully aware of exactly what they are committing themselves to. Fantastic service & I will recommend Diane to everyone. Thank you so much Diane & Sara!

Angela Newnham

Tagged solicitor Angela Newnham

I have used this company twice and have found them very efficient. The first time was a conveyancing matter which had to be resolved from start to finish in 30 days and I am pleased to say it was. The second time, is still ongoing, with the drawing up of an easement for a septic treatment plant on my land to be shared by a third party. I find them very knowledgeable as to what is required and sound advice about how to proceed.

Linda White

Positive and friendly encounters, whether by phone, email or in person - no bots involved. Also, my conveyance was dealt with in the space of a month, with the completion date set and kept. It is rare to find such efficiency in a team of solicitors. Highly recommended!
