Which statement best describes what the local search may reveal about roadworks near the property?

• A. The color of the front door
• B. The road adjoining the property will be widened or have humps/traffic lights/roundabouts created/installed
• C. The number of nearby cafes
• D. The local school performance

Answer: (B)

Local searches pull in information held by the local authority about planning and highway matters that could affect the property. When it comes to roadworks, the key detail they may reveal is whether the road adjoining the property is planned to be widened or altered in some way, such as the installation of humps, traffic lights, or a roundabout. These highway changes can impact access, noise, parking, and future value, so they’re exactly the kind of information the local search is designed to disclose. The other options aren’t what the search typically covers: the color of the front door is cosmetic, the number of nearby cafes isn’t a planning/highways record, and school performance isn’t a roadworks matter.
