Description
Now in its seventh edition, this popular work provides a clear and concise commentary on Forms CON29 (2016), CON29O (2016), and CON29DW (2021).   Each enquiry is examined in turn, and the book sets out the relevant and up-to-date legal position, with sources and references, in non-technical language. The authors then provide a summary of the implications of any reply by the local authority or water company concerned, positive or negative, so that a prospective purchaser can make a balanced decision as to whether to proceed with the purchase.   Enquiries of Local Authorities and Water Companies will be an invaluable reference to the conveyancing practitioner and the local land charges officer.
