Geodesys is able to provide Official Local Authority Searches using information drawn from the relevant council records to compile a definitive and up-to-date picture of all the planning issues that could affect a property.

Each Official Local Authority Search includes the following key information about any property in England and Wales:

• Details of proposed traffic schemes
• The location of nearby conservation areas, which could restrict the homeowner’s ability to undertake further building work
• Listings of any compulsory purchase orders

Additional information, including guidance on food safety notices and hazardous substance consents, can be obtained from Part II optional enquiries.

A Personal Local Authority Search is available as an alternative to the official search.
