CON 29 forms revised
From 1 August 2007, the CON29 forms of standard and optional enquiries of local authority will be replaced by two new forms:
- CON 29R Enquiries of local authority (2007); and
- CON 29O Optional Enquiries of local authority (2007)
Any 2002 editions of the CON 29 forms submitted to local authorities may be rejected from August 2007.
Form CON 29O replaced CON29 Optional Enquiry Form (2002), and includes the enquiries which until now have been made using Form CR21. Form CR21 may continue to be used and accepted for a transitional period until 1 October 2007.
The new form CON 29R should be used from 1 August, whether or not enquiries of local authority are made for the purposes of including the replies in a Home Information Pack (HIP). However, it will only be appropriate for those making enquiries to complete BOX E (names of the vendor, estate agent, HIP provider, solicitor/conveyancer), if they intend to include the replies in a HIP.
