Request a land search

We no longer provide a search of the Local Land Charges Register (LLC1) or a local land charges personal search service from Monday 15 April 2024.

Our LLC Register will be migrated to HM Land Registry. You can access the new national digital service from Thursday 25 April 2024 through your HM Land Registry portal account, Business Gateway or through Gov.uk.

We continue to provide replies to CON29 enquiries.

Before you buy or lease a property or a plot of land, we recommend you request a CON29 search. This may include: 

  • restrictions on use or preservation orders
  • planning applications that may affect the property or land
  • whether the property or land has received any grants which could be repayable 
  • information or potential new road schemes which may influence the decision to buy

    information on enforcement notices, tree preservation orders and any outstanding notices.

    drainage, common land, towns and village greens.
