Local Land Charges

A Local Land Charge is a restriction or prohibition on land either to secure the payment of a sum of money or to limit the use to which the land may be put and is binding on successive owners or occupiers.

Local Land Charges originate from both internal and external sources, including Planning, Environmental Health, Highways Agency, Environment Agency, Ministry of Agriculture Food & Fisheries, Water Authorities, Department of Culture Media & Sport and English Heritage.

A Local Land Charges Search is carried out when a property or piece of land is being purchased, leased, valued or re-mortgaged. A Local Land Search is part of the conveyancing process and reveals registerable charges, for example: Notices served under various Acts including Planning Applications that have been approved with conditions and Building and Housing Notices, Conservation Areas, Tree Preservation Orders, Listed Buildings, Enforcement Notices, Legal Agreements, Improvement/Renovation Grants, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Financial Charges and Miscellaneous Charges. 

A Local Land Charges Search is made up of two parts. The first part is the LLC1 form which is the Official Certificate of Search and deals with all the registerable charges that bind on the land which is being searched on. The second part is the CON29R and CON29O forms (Parts 1: Standard Enquiries of Local Authority (Edition 2007) and Part 2: Additional Enquiries of Local Authority (Edition 2007). These forms detail a number of enquiries such as road schemes and the planning history and additional enquiries which include public paths or byways, road proposals, Completion Notices, pipelines, contaminated land, Hazardous Substance Consents, Environmental and Pollution Notices and Food Safety Notices.

How to submit a search

Forms can be obtained from Solicitors and Law Stationers and the following should be submitted:
  • Two copies of the LLC1 form and CON29R Part 1 forms (along with two copies of the CON29O Part 2 form if applicable)
  • Two copies of the plan with the area to be searched on clearly edged in red on each plan, and the correct fee.
