Land charges property search

We are currently working with HM Land Registry to migrate our local land charges service to their central digital register. 

Our cut-off date for accepting searches of the Local Land Charge Register is 17 April 2025. We will continue to provide Con29 searches as usual.

From 28 April 2025, HM Land Registry will provide search results for local land charges searches in the Tandridge area.

For more information visit GOV.UK.

A local land charge is a restriction or charge registered against a property or piece of land. A search of the Local Land Charges register will ensure anyone who wants to buy land are told about any obligations enforced by councils eg protected trees, enforcement notices or outstanding grants.

Full local authority searches

In addition to a search of the Local Land Charges register, a full Local Authority search will include responses to the CON29 form which provides additional information held by the Local Authority such as planning history, who maintains the highway and building regulations compliance.

Responses to additional enquiries (CON29O) can also be provided if you require more information, such as common land or public paths or byways.

Search returns

We aim to return all local authority search requests within 10 working days. Results can be returned electronically by e-mail or uploaded to an online portal.

Buying and selling advice

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has recently published guidance on "How to buy a home" and "How to sell a home". This guidance has been developed following consultation with stakeholders including the Local Land Charges Institute.

Please find links to the guidance here: Buying a home and Selling a home.

A personal search is an inspection of the Local Land Charges Register.

Local Land Charges register will transfer to HMLR on 28 April 2025. We no longer provide the LLC1 part of the search via our online map service.  

You will be able to access a new digital service through your portal account, business gateway and on the HM Land Registry pages on GOV.UK

We can provide all Enquiries of Local Authorities (CON29R) information for personal searches. Our schedule of registers document explains the information available.

Personal searches are not covered by our insurance, unlike those we carry out. We are not responsible for the information included in a personal search and no claim can be made against us if the results are not correct.

Any relevant information about roads and highways is available from the Highways Information Team.
