Migration of local land charges service 
On 14 October 2025, our Local Land Charges Register was migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. You can access the new digital service through the HM Land Registry Portal and HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK.

North Norfolk District Council will continue to provide replies to CON29 enquiries (see fees below).

Visit Local Land Charge Programme | GOV.UK for more information.
