The Local Authority Search is the most important property conveyancing search and can reveal to a prospective buyer of a property whether there are any planning issues, land charges and other related matters which might affect the enjoyment of the property and it's particularly useful for a conveyancing solicitor for providing essential information which will be considered in the eventual report on title. A recent such search bought for a property in Lee Mill Road, Hebden Bridge HX7 7AB revealed that there were a number of development plan designations which the property was located within including a Wildlife Corridor, a Primary Housing Area, the Leeds Bradford Airport Consultation Zone and the Hameldon Hill Consultation Zone. |
According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Hebden Bridge (including streets such as Bankfoot and Mayroyd Lane), is in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground radon emissions. The raised radon area has a maximum radon potential of 3 - 5% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where radon emissions might measure above the action level). If you are concerned that a property you are buying is in an area of raised Radon, please click to visit Public Health England's UK Radon Map.

A Flood Report property conveyancing search is an additional search (i.e. not compulsory if you're buying with a mortgage) which your lender might require you to purchase if the area a property you're looking to buy is known to be at risk of flooding. A recent such report, bought for a property in Hawksclough, Hebden Bridge HX7 8NL, revealed that the property was at a high risk of river flooding; a moderate to high risk of surface water and other flooding; and a moderate risk of ground water flooding, altogether meaning that there was a significant risk of flooding overall. The report additionally stated that despite the risk, insurance would remain available, providing the property in question was eligible for the Flood Re scheme. |
