Regulated Drainage and Water Search
Drainage and Water Search (Regulated)
The Drainage and Water Search (Regulated) is an alternative to the Official Drainage and Water Search (CON29DW).
This search provides information on sewers, foul water and the water supply to a property, ensuring property buyers are fully aware of their liability for pipe maintenance. Information included in the search, particularly the connection status and location of assets, is inferred from the proximity of the property to the nearest public infrastructure as shown on the public sewer records. For any information not publicly available, insurance is implemented to indemnify against any adverse entries. Please be aware that the results do not carry the same guarantee as an Official search provided directly by the Water Company.
Each report also includes a standardised map to show any foul sewer pipes, surface water sewer pipes, combined sewer pipes, main water pipes and decommissioned water mains pipes within the vicinity of the property.
This report also advises whether responses are typical responses, whether the response requires some caution or whether a response is atypical and requires attention.
- Official Search layouts depend on the water company, with our regulated report you will receive the same, clear format and summary on every report.
- The turnaround time for the report depends on the water company but they tend to be quicker than the Official Drainage and Water Search
- There is a set fee nationwide and Regulated Drainage and Water Searches are likely to be cheaper for you and your client.
Clients are protected by £2 million PI insurance on every report.
