When delivering any development, it is critical to have reliable and thorough information on ownership, occupation and rights over the land that is subject to development.
Property research and land referencing is the process of identifying people and organisations that have a legal interest in property or land. This can be required for general land investigations as well as various proposed developments including regeneration, highways and infrastructure schemes, including those requiring Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) and Development Consent Orders (DCO). This information can be provided in various forms of schedules including a document known as The Book of Reference. Any developer – whether in the public or private sector – needs to trust that the information included as part of their application is accurate and reliable; that is where we come in.
