When buying or selling a property in North Yorkshire, it's essential to understand the drainage system and how it affects your home. House deeds, also known as property deeds, contain crucial information about the property, including its boundaries, ownership, and any rights or restrictions. However, the extent of drainage information included in house deeds can vary.

House deeds may not always explicitly mention drainage, but they might include information about water rights, drainage easements, or sewer connections. In North Yorkshire, property deeds might reference the existence of public sewers, drainage ditches, or other water management systems.

For new properties, the house deeds might include information about the drainage system, such as the location of sewers, drains, and manholes. This information can be crucial for homeowners, as it helps them understand their responsibilities and potential liabilities.

When purchasing a property, it's recommended to conduct a drainage search, also known as a CON29DW search, to gather more information about the drainage system. This search can reveal details about:

• The location of public sewers and drains
• Any shared drainage responsibilities
• Existing drainage easements or agreements
• Connection to the public sewer network

House deeds might mention the existence of main sewers or public sewers, which are typically maintained by the local water authority, such as Yorkshire Water. However, the deeds might not always provide detailed information about the location or condition of these sewers.

For older properties, the house deeds might not include detailed information about the drainage system. In such cases, it's essential to inspect the property and consult with a drainage expert to understand the existing drainage setup.

To ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the drainage system, it's recommended to obtain drainage plans or diagrams. These plans can be obtained from the local water authority or by hiring a drainage surveyor.

If your property is connected to the public sewer network, the house deeds might mention this connection. However, it's essential to verify this information through a drainage search or by consulting with a drainage expert.
In conclusion, while house deeds may not always provide detailed information about drainage, they can still contain valuable information about water rights, drainage easements, and sewer connections. To ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the drainage system, it's recommended to conduct a drainage search and consult with a drainage expert.
