Which matters are typically revealed by a CON29 search?

• A. Whether the property is on common land
• B. Building regulations contraventions
• C. Road schemes or road proposals
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

A CON29 search is a routine inquiry to the local authority used in property transactions to surface issues that could affect the property’s use, value, or future plans. It commonly uncovers matters like whether the property sits on common land, which can bring restrictions on use or development; whether there are building regulations contraventions, which may require remedial work or enforcement action; and whether there are road schemes or road proposals that could affect access, traffic, or nearby property value. These items are exactly the kinds of information the CON29 is designed to reveal, so all of the above describes the typical range of matters you’d expect to appear.
