Local land charges

About local land charges

A local land search is required whenever a property is advertised for sale, leased or re-mortgaged and is one of the required elements in a Home Information Pack (HIP).

Your solicitor will make a search of the Council's records to ensure there are no hidden surprises, such as:

  • repayment of monies owed to the Council
  • preservation order on a tree situated on the land
  • future developments that could affect the property

Below are a list of the charges:

Fees (as at June 2009)
LLC1 and Con29R (standard search forms) £88.00
LLC1 (search of the land charges register only) £11.00
Con29O £5.00 each
Additional solicitors questions £25.00 each
Extra parcels of land £7.50 each
Expedition fee £10.00

The types of the available application forms are explained on the next page.
