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 or an enhanced personal search, you may need to pay a fee.
Official and enhanced personal searches
To perform an official search or an enhanced personal search, you’ll need to complete a form and pay a fee.
Your solicitor will have the appropriate forms but they’re also available from the Law Society’s website.
There are different forms, depending on the type of search you’re going to do and the questions you’re going to ask.
