The Business Issue
Need to sell more Official Searches?



The Solution
LAPSO (Local Authority Property Searches Online) is the online ordering portal specifically designed for Local Authorities to sell Official Searches.
Your customers such as solicitors can order online:
• at anytime of the day or weekend and
• order searches of any type from anywhere in England and Wales.
Your online customers can now include surveyors, domestic energy assessors, estate agents and even the general public. LAPSO is the branded one-stop shop, providing customers with the ease of use, convenience, and single point of ordering. LAPSO can also be used to convert postal orders to electronic by reducing the cost of the electronic search.

Benefits
• Convert postal orders to electronic

• Provide the one-stop shop. Local solicitors can order any searches for anywhere in England and Wales.

Features
LAPSO is your branded one-stop shop. It promotes the Official Search and includes all the ancilliary searches such as Coal, Flood and Environmental. Only your own Searches are delivered to your Bluesoft Hub. All other searches are automatically routed to other Local Authorities or to the other report providers. The Bluesoft Hub is your alternative to the MDA/NLIS Hub. Notification of orders for the Official Search is by email as well as through the Hub. Within the Hub, you can complete the LLC1, upload CON29 attachments, and then combine them into a single pdf before transmitting to the customer. Documents can also be scanned and uploaded. As an extension to your website, LAPSO is externally hosted thus not requiring involvement from the ICT department. Branded with your logo and colours, LAPSO is easily identified as part of your powerful trusted Local Authority brand.
