Legal Reports
Legal Reports
Essential for every property transaction, we provide Legal Reports for all types of land and property, ranging from straightforward registered properties to complex unregistered land and estates or new build developments.
Our Legal Reports include as standard a “Personal Search”. M&B’s “Personal Search” includes entries from both the Register of Inhibitions and the Register of Insolvencies.
We also provide continuations of Legal Reports that can be delivered immediately prior to your transaction settling.
Legal reports can be ordered in our convenient Multisearch Bundles service, saving you time, effort and money.
