You'll have one named conveyancer from start to finish, and you can check where things stand in My Koala at any time. There's no paperwork to post and no office to visit.
A Derby address goes to Derby City Council for the local authority search. Just outside the city, it goes to the district instead, such as Amber Valley, Erewash or South Derbyshire. Severn Trent handles the water and drainage search.
The east of the county, around Ilkeston, Heanor and Ripley, sits on the old Derbyshire coalfield, so a coal mining search often applies there. Parts of Derbyshire also have higher natural radon levels, which the environmental search picks up. Our guide to conveyancing searches explains each one.
The quicker your paperwork is ready, the quicker your buyer's conveyancer can move. Our guide to getting started with selling lists what to find now.
