British Waterways
A British Waterways search should be made when considering purchasing a property that is in close proximity to a river, stream or canal or has any of these features passing through the boundaries of the property.
What will a British Waterways search cover?
The search will reveal ownership of the riverbanks, fishing rights, licences to abstract water and drainage rights. This information is important to potential homebuyers so they are aware of any rights or restrictions that affect the body of water.
