Property Searches

Moray Property Searchers Ltd. is a small company run by the partners of Grigor & Young providing a dedicated legal support service, primarily used by other firms of solicitors to check the planning, building control and environmental aspects when property changes hands.

Ultimately, our clients (and clients of those firms who use our team’s expertise in this area) benefit from speedy resolution of matters in property conveyancing.

It is run by a dedicated team of researchers who:

  • daily check all new entries in the Moray Council registers
  • obtain copies of relevant planning permission and building warrants
  • advise on contaminated land problems
  • arrange for Septic tank registrations

We are here to help

Our offices are closed but we are still open and here to help.

In accordance with Government guidelines, and to ensure the health and well-being of our Staff and the wider community, our offices in Elgin and Forres are now closed to the public until further notice.

However, we are still here to help you. We have a very small, core team remaining at each office and the bulk of our legal and property teams are working remotely and are available to assist you by way of telephone, video call or email.

Our main office number (01343 544077) is manned from 9am – 5pm, Monday to Thursday and 9am – 4pm on Fridays. Please call and you will be passed to the member of our team dealing with your business. If you are a new client requiring assistance, then you will be passed to someone who will be able to help.

Those members of our team who are working remotely remain contactable on their direct dial numbers and email. If the person who was dealing with your business is not currently working then your call or email is being diverted to the person progressing matters for you.

This is a difficult time for everyone. We want to do all that we can to help you continue with any ongoing business, or simply help and advise you if you have concerns. These are extraordinary times and we totally understand that you may have legal questions or concerns. Please feel free to call for a chat and we will do all we can to assist.

If we all take good care of ourselves, our families, our friends and our neighbours, we are sure that together we will come through this difficult time.
