Drainage & Water Search

Purpose:
This search confirms the property’s connection to mains water and public sewers, and identifies responsibility for drainage systems.

What It Covers:

• Whether the property is connected to public water supply and sewerage

• Location of public sewers, drains, and water mains

• Surface-water drainage arrangements

• Build-over agreements (if any)

Why It Matters:
Essential for detecting potential issues such as private drains, shared sewers, or water mains running beneath the property, all of which may affect building works or future maintenance.
