Land search basics for residential buyers
Tudi complements the land search; it never replaces it.
Updated 1 Jul 2026 · Part of Guides
Direct answer
A land search is the buyer's own verification layer: ownership, encumbrances, and outstanding works. Tudi's Guide and risk flags complement it; they do not replace it.
What the land search shows
Ownership history, mortgages, leases, and any registered notices live in the land record. It is the legal ground truth for the flat.
Where Guide fits
Guide answers the pricing question the land search cannot: what has this building actually transacted for recently, and how does the ask compare.
What Tudi will never replace
No research tool signs the conveyance. Engage a solicitor for the actual search and treat it as the final layer of due diligence.
