Apply for a local land search

We are currently experiencing technical issues

As a result of the system upgrade, we are currently experiencing some technical issues. We are working through the backlog of applications, but processing of search requests is taking longer than expected. As such we will not be able to address this backlog by the Christmas break. We have put in place weekend working to return as many searches as possible. Search results will be returned in chronological order. We will keep this web page updated on our progress over the next few weeks.

We thank you for your patience.

Further information can be found on the Planning Service Update page.

A local land charges search is undertaken as part of the conveyancing process when a property or a piece of land is being purchased, leased, valued or re-mortgaged. This reveals any restrictions or legal obligations against the site such as tree preservation orders conditional planning consents, conservation areas, listed buildings and so on.
