:: Other records held by the local authority on matters of interest to buyers, such as planning decisions and road building proposals. These are referred to as local enquiries in the Home Information Pack regulations. A local authority or a personal search company can be used.
:: The provision of drainage and water services to the property. The local water company or a personal search company can be used.
The procedural guidance to the Home Information Pack Regulations contains more information about what should be included in the search reports.
