During this period of hot weather, you may find that the increased demand means you have lower water pressure than normal.

Search Requests

Here at Leaf, we’re delighted to offer Water & Drainage Searches (commonly known as CON29DW), with the option to request water-only information if needed. These searches provide buyers and their solicitors with detailed insights into the water and drainage services in the area where the property is located.

Buying a home is exciting, and having this information ensures you’re fully informed about any potential issues or responsibilities related to the water and drainage infrastructure. With our searches, you can move forward with confidence, knowing you have the details you need for a smooth and stress-free purchase.

Your search will provide valuable information, including:

  • Who is the supplier and billing company for the property
  • Sewer and drainage information (if selected) 
  • Water supply details 
  • Infrastructure and development context 

There are two main types of plots you can request, here’s a quick look at what each one covers: 

Residential: 

The Residential search provides valuable insights for homebuyers, helping them make confident and informed decisions about their purchase. It highlights factors that could influence the property’s value and title. Our experienced team reviews all relevant information in detail to ensure a thorough and reliable report, giving buyers peace of mind as they move forward with their new home.

Commercial: 

The Commercial search is designed for those buying land or buildings for business use. This includes offices, retail units, working farms, warehouses, development sites, and commercial buildings intended as dwellings. Packed with insights on water and drainage services, as well as infrastructure assets, the Commercial search helps reduce risk and complements the due diligence of property professionals and their advisers.

Please note: A Land at CON29DW report covers the development site as a whole and is not plot specific. It should not be used as a substitute for an individual property CON29DW where a plot-specific report is available.
