If you want to purchase a home in Onchan, it’s very likely that you will require a local authority search.
The Local Authority search will relate directly to any information regarding the property that you want to purchase and can include the following information
- any nearby planned roadwork's or schemes
- any property planning history
- planning applications that have either been approved or refused
- If any property development is permitted
- information on public rights of way in the nearby area
- whether or not the property is classed as a listed building
- whether the nearby roads are the responsibility of private residents or the DOI
- if any Building Regulation Applications have been submitted within the last 12 months
- If there are any outstanding Rates due on the property
The Commissioners will carry out this request at a cost of £135 and will usually be made by the advocate dealing with the purchase of the property on the sellers behalf.
