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.
