Are official or regulated searches faster in Ealing?

Regulated searches are typically faster in Ealing right now — around 15 working days versus the council's 16.

Why might I choose a regulated search even when the council is quicker?

Regulated searches are produced to a consistent national format, so your conveyancer and lender can read them faster. Even when the headline turnaround is a day or two longer than the council's, the report itself is quicker to interpret and less likely to come back with queries — which is usually where transactions stall.

Can I order before I've instructed a solicitor?

Yes. You can get your searches order underway as soon as you have an address. If your conveyancer is appointed, we send the completed reports to them at the same time as you get them, often saving 3-6 weeks in the transaction timeline.

Do I need a flood search in Ealing?
