Personal search allows you to search the registers we keep.

You can use this to get:

  • environmental information
  • other information about a property

The basic service is free of charge.

You will need to make an appointment with the relevant department to search the register.

Accessing CON29 Information 

If you need information relating to CON29 questions outside of a paid official search, you must contact the relevant department directly. 

We do not provide assistance with interpreting or compiling responses to CON29 enquiries outside of the paid LLC1/CON29R service. 

Personal search agents are responsible for identifying and gathering this information themselves from the appropriate registers.
