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.
