A Local Land Charge Search should be carried out when a property or piece of land is being sold, purchased, leased or valued to find out if there are any matters affecting that property or piece of land.
Searches are usually carried out in two parts.
The first part of the Search (LLC1) deals with all registerable charges such as planning conditions, tree preservation orders, planning agreements, listed buildings, some enforcement issues, housing grants and financial charges.
The second part (CON29) deals with issues such as road schemes, planning history and environmental matters.The information given on a search relates only to the property or land identified on the search plan. The Council does not provide information regarding surrounding property or land unless this is specifically requested.
Drainage enquiries are dealt with by Southern Water.
All search requests are treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
