Local Land Searches

It is very important to have a search carried out when buying a property as it is designed to protect prospective purchasers by informing them of, for instance, plans to build a new road in the vicinity, whether the highway fronting the property is publicly or privately maintained, to let them know about planning permissions/conditions, tree preservation orders, enforcement notices or housing grants etc. which may affect the property to be purchased.

Local Land Searches for Northumberland National Park are carried out by the relevant District Council for the area.  Further information is available from the District Councils.
