These are known collectively as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authority.

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
