Which statement describes what an official search with priority confirms?

• A. It confirms the transfer price
• B. It confirms the identity of the seller
• C. It confirms whether there have been any changes to the register since the date of the official copies supplied in the contract pack
• D. It confirms the property's zoning status

Answer: (C)

An official search with priority checks the Land Registry for changes to the title that have occurred since the date of the last official copies provided in the contract pack. The key point is that the certificate from this search confirms whether anything has been registered or altered on the register after those copies were issued. This helps ensure the buyer’s position by revealing changes that could affect the title or priority before completion, such as new charges or restrictions. It does not relate to the transfer price, the seller’s identity, or the property’s zoning status.
