Search the local land charges register
If you are a potential buyer of a property in our area, part of the conveyancing process will involve a search against the property to uncover any restrictions or legal obligations on the building(s) or plot of land.
The Local Land Charges (LLC) register holds all charges held in relation to planning applications, enforcement notices, financial charges and other vital information.
Types of searches
There are two types of searches:
- an official local land charge search. This usually comprises of two elements - a LLC1 Form and a CON29 form
- a personal search. This consists of an unofficial copy of entries on the land charges register
It is recommended an official search is carried out to ensure you receive the complete information for the property.
Official and personal searches can be requested by a solicitor or a licenced conveyancer. Search requests cannot be cancelled.
Official search
LLC1 and CON29 forms must be completed to process an official search. We cannot provide copies of these forms.
We guarantee the search results.
Land Charges team
