Following the announcements by HMRC in December 2016, we are implementing the introduction of VAT on all CON29 and CON29O products from 1st January 2017. This means that all our current prices for CON29 searches will be increased by 20% to reflect the VAT applied.
From Monday 4th July 2016, the CON29 2016 edition took effect and the CON29 2007 edition is no longer available (we are therefore unable to accept search requests relating to the CON29 2007 edition from this date).
Please submit CON29 2016 edition search requests using the forms available via the Law Society website: https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/news/stories/law-society-revised-con-29-and-con-29o-forms/
