What the local search covers
The LLC1 and CON29 report on planning permissions and enforcement, building regulations, road adoption, tree preservation orders, conservation area status and financial charges registered against the property. It tells you what the council knows, which is not the same as what the seller has told you.
Other searches ordered in Telford
Drainage and water, environmental and flood risk searches are standard. Because Telford sits on former coalfield, a coal mining search is also standard here, as lenders expect it.
