FAQs
Answers to Frequently Asked
Questions.
- What about CON 29 questions?
- The CON 29 enquiry questionnaire, which forms part of the
official search, contains many "warning" questions. Examples of the
information that can be found only by submitting a CON 29 are given
below: - • Compulsory Purchase Orders • Proposed Tree Preservation
Orders • Notices under the Planning, Highways and Public Health
Acts not found on any register • Road proposals or schemes
(including road widening) • Proposed enforcement action or breach
of condition notices If you rely on a personal search from a
solicitor or personal search company, we remind you that they are
not given or entitled to receive, answers to the questions on the
CON 29, and any information they do obtain is not covered by
Section 10(3) of the Local Land Charges Act 1975 which relates to
compensation for loss. The only way to receive this information is
to submit the Official Certificate of Search (LLC1) and CON 29
enquiries forms. An official local authority search provides you
with the complete and comprehensive information as per the CON 29
enquiries form, carried out by the Council in accordance with the
Local Land Charges Act 1975 and Local Land Charges Rules 1977.

deadlines, but desire a professional and accurate service that can
