Reports Vet

The value of property over which a report is being completed will be not apparent from the form, but will require an estimated value to be made by the officer completing the report. This is based on the limited information available from the report, including extent, location and parties as well as the historical information contained on the relevant search sheet or title Sheet. If in doubt, the report will be vetted.

Details of the report will be noted in the log kept in the public area of the production/all BU shared drive. See Annex 1. The completed report will be passed to a nominated officer for checking using the checklist in Annex 2. They will then countersign the report and update the details in the log. 

The officers checking the reports will be of the RO1 grade, nominated by the reports team leaders. A list or rota is kept in the public area of the production/all BU shared drive. See Annex 3. It is the responsibility of the reports team leaders to keep this up to date.

Details of subsequent queries will be added to the log. The checklist will also be evaluated and updated if appropriate on a regular basis by the reports team leaders.
