Land charges register searches
We will not be accepting any searches after 5pm on 27 March due to urgent system maintenance. Any searches submitted before this date will be completed. The system will be up and running again on 1 April.
We have a statutory requirement to generate, maintain and regularly update a Local Land Charges Register and to provide local searches to purchasers of land or property.
Searches are required to ensure purchasers are not caught out by obligations or restrictions, which are binding against successive owners.
A search result will include any entries – known as 'charges' – recorded against the property being searched.
These could include:
A search will not tell you who owns a property – you will need to contact HM Land Registry for ownership information.
