Land Charges

A solicitor would usually request a search using standard forms LLC1 - search of Local Land Charges Register and CON29 - Enquiries of Local Authority. These can be purchased by forwarding one or both enquiries and the required fee to the Council.

The search of the Local Land Charges Register (LLC1) ensures that purchasers are not caught unawares by obligations enforceable against successive owners under the terms of various statutes.

The standard enquiries search (CON29) includes details of planning matters and environmental and enforcement notices and provides information supplied by the County Council on road status, road agreements, road and traffic schemes, rights of way, open access land, compulsory purchase and outstanding statutory notices. Information concerning land ownership, water and drainage, common land and village greens can also be supplied through the search process.

Personal Searches

A personal search of the Local Land Charges Register can be undertaken for a fee. This does not provide answers to the questions asked on the standard enquiry form. We do not provide anything in writing and the onus is on the person carrying out the search to ensure they discover all issues, which affect the property.
