Local Land Charges and Local Authority Searches

Personal searches of the Local Land Charges Register are available under Section 8 of the Local Land Charges Act 1975.

• This is an alternative to the Council undertaking the search for you.
• There is no charge for inspection of the Register however knowledge is required about how the Register works and what the information means.
• These searches are usually undertaken by personal search companies.

Please call or email the Local Land Charges team to book an appointment. You will also need to send us a plan showing the property to be searched clearly outlined in red.

Appointments are usually 5 working days from the request being made. There is no limit to how many searches can be undertaken during an appointment.
