Search the local land charges register

The local land charges register lists things like restrictions, debts or prohibitions on a piece of land or a property.

Your solicitor will usually search the land charges register if you buy a property or land but you can request a search yourself.

There are two types of search:

• official search, sometimes known as a standard search or local authority search
• personal search

We guarantee the accuracy of an official search but not a personal one.

You can perform a personal search for free using our online mapping system. If you need an official search, you may need to pay a fee.

Official searches

To perform an official search search, you’ll need to complete a form and pay a fee.
