The Directors

Andy Hale, Managing Director

With a long history in sales & marketing and a former director of a successful software company, Andy formed FastSearch in January 2004 having identified large areas for improvement in the production, content and fee structure of searches produced by Local Authorities.

The aim was not only to considerably improve turn around time but to enhance the readability and extent of the search area compared to standard searches - thus empowering the prospective home buyer with the knowledge to make an informed decision.

Jane Hale, Company Secretary

Jane is a master of administrative procedures, streamlining our processes from instruction to delivery ensuring that our service operates as efficiently as possible. Before co-founding FastSearch Jane had a successful career in management with a number of firms including a well known Group of Estate Agents.

Why Use FastSearch

Turnaround time for many conventional searches can be slow and require considerable progress chasing. Long turn around times can cause problems with the transaction process, such as delaying contracts exchange and potentially completion.

We are proud of our performance record in conducting local searches in considerably less time than many local authorities, providing our customers with the confidence that it will not be the waiting for conveyancing searches that lets them down.
