Local Land Charges search
Inspection of the Local Land Charges register
Most requests to carry out a Local Land Charges Search are submitted by solicitors or licensed conveyors acting on a purchaser's behalf.
Processing each search involves researching and supplying information so we charge a fee. However, individuals are able to carry out their own searches for free.
