Available on catch-up: CON29DW: Red Flags 3: Key areas – Transferred assets and future billing charges

29th June 2026

Our ninth webinar is now available on the DWSN YouTube Channel.

This latest webinar explored additional red flags areas in the CON29DW and why they matter. Chaired by Karen McCormack, Property Searches Manager, United Utilities and presented by Jonathan Davey, Head of Business Development – Conveyancing, Geodesys, this 30 minute webinar identified two further key areas of risk of conveyancers and their clients where further enquiries or checks may be needed. We explored this in the context of:

  1. Transferred assets – understanding the implications for sewer adoptions since the private public transfers in 2011 (private sewers) and 2016 (private pumping stations)
  2. Future billing charges – why these might differ from current charge, the example, as a result of impacts from the water industry’s significant ongoing programme of smart meter roll-outs.

You can also access the postcode look-up tool to help find the CON29DW provider of your client’s address and the contact details for your local DWSN member.

There are additional recordings available on the DWSN YouTube Channel, covering such as Buildovers, Adoption Agreements and Navs. These are great for induction packs and team updates.
