We also charge a similar price of £57 for conveyancing enquiries made by any party for a similar scope of work as described previously - GIS records, files and records and an opinion on priorty based on currently held information. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Osbaldeston [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 15 July 2004 12:34 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Charging for searches At Newport, we charge the bargain price of £56... (worked out as an hour of officers time plus the admin etc etc).. For us, searches generally involve analysis of our GIS records (hist maps/photogs etc) and a look at any departmental files for the site.. We seem to be getting more and more searches recently.. especially since certain companies now mention things such as 'Certificates of Non-Contamination' !! Something which I am not prepared to issue, and something which I feel does not explain the complexity of the situation to their clients, but leaves them rather confused..

Obviously it would help if I knew what my colleagues charged for similar searches, so I was wondering; could you let me know what you charge?
