‘Buying a home? Then you can’t afford to miss Wokingham District Council’s land search sale!’ That’s the message from the Wokingham Council’s dedicated land search team, who pledge a quick turnaround time on the high quality professional searches.

After the proposal got the green light last night (Thursday November 24) from the council’s decision making executive, the Wokingham council is slashing the cost of a basic local land search from £145 to £100 but is not compromising on quality. The offer begins next week (Thursday December 1) and ends March 31, 2006. Leaflets will be sent to local solicitors and estate agents.

Speaking on the four-month offer Wokingham Cllr Matthew Deegan, executive member for corporate services, said: “This is a great opportunity to get a fast, high quality land search carried out by a dedicated in-house team at a competitive price. Anyone sold on buying a new home and wanting to keep costs to a minimum, whilst not compromising on quality, should contact the council today!”

The three-strong Wokingham land charges team carries out local searches on behalf of home purchasers to reveal issues affecting properties such as highway details, planning decisions, legal agreements, planning enforcement notices and tree preservations orders.

Anyone wanting to find out more about the land search price cut or to arrange a land search should call (0118) 974 6532 or write to Local Land Charges, Wokingham District Council, Wokingham, Berkshire RG40 1WH.
