Consistent national format that is easier for you, your conveyancer and lender to consume.

The council is currently quicker in Westminster — but read on, the regulated report is easier to consume. Regulated searches are produced to a consistent national format, so your conveyancer and lender can read them faster. Even when the raw 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 actually stall.

What's slowing Westminster down right now

IT issues following suspected cyber-attack. Results now being retuned but there are still delays while they clear the backlog.
