The
drainage search report. |
The information provided
in drainage search report will normally come form the
local water company and can be packaged and presented to
the solicitor by a private company specialising in this
type of services.
The drainage report normally includes a coded plan of
the mains drainage surrounding the property and will
indicate the type of foul water drainage associated with
the property.
For example the drainage search should
indicate whether the property has a cesspool or septic
tank, and if it’s shared who’s responsible for the
maintenance.
If you’re planning to extend the drainage search report
should highlight any issues relating to build location
and viability of the proposed extension. The drainage
search will also indicate whether the property is billed
for water and waste water services using a water meter
and whether the property has a private water supply.
The drainage search normally takes about a week to turn
around.
