*In Scotland we provide a ‘Regulated’ search rather than ‘Official’ as the Law Society (of England and Wales) guidance and their CON29M form do not apply in Scotland. If the property is located in Scotland you will still be able to order the CON29M product (for either Residential or Commercial transactions) and we will generate the appropriate version for Scottish transactions. £10m Professional Indemnity Insurance**
