How long do property searches take in South Tyneside?

South Tyneside council currently takes around 10 working days to return an official search. Regulated searches take around 12 working days.

Are official or regulated searches faster in South Tyneside?

The official council search is currently quicker in South Tyneside (around 10 working days versus the regulated alternative at about 12), but the regulated report is easier to read and less likely to come back with queries — which is usually what actually delays a transaction.

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.
