How easy is it and quick is it to do a Local authority search? Can I submit a search ( I think it's called a Con29 myself ) or does it have to be via a solicitor?
I've seen reports in the news where someone has been in a real hurry that they've got information in less than a day! which surely is how it should be done.
The reason for asking is I'm trying to buy a 2nd house and do not want to be charge a fortune for doing something I can do myself.
