Local Land Charges

Local Land Charges searches are an important part of the property conveyancing process. The results of local searches will inform potential purchasers about essential information that a local authority might hold about a property.

We no longer provide a local land charges search service.

Our Local Land Charges register has now migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. You can now access the new digital service through Portal, Business Gateway and on HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK pages.

We still provide replies to Con29 enquiries.
Please only submit the required fee of £124.80 when submitting a Con29 enquiry to us.

For more information visit GOV.UK

The CON29 and CON29O enquiry forms provide information on matters such as local plans, highways, building works and public rights of way.

When submitting searches please:

  • ensure that a good quality, up to date Ordnance Survey location plan (scale 1/2500) is submitted with the boundary of the property duly edged in red (and includes an O.S. licence number and acknowledgement).
  • note that information on additional side, back or abutting roads will only be answered if they are specified by name in Box 'C' or are referred to and highlighted on the submitted location plan.
  • note that we do not reply to Part 2 Optional Enquiry 4. Information relating to this can be found on the Planning Register.
