This is the guidance for:

• applications to register a local land charge or to vary or cancel the registration of a local land charge
• applications for an official search or personal search of the local land charges register

This guide does not cover the registration of Land Charges with HM Land Registry. Information about Land Charges can be found in Land charges: registration, official search, office copy and cancellation (PG63).

This guide does not cover CON 29 enquiries, which will continue to be answered by local authorities. CON 29 enquiries include matters such as nearby road schemes or outstanding notices, which may affect a purchaser’s decision whether to proceed.

We only provide factual information and impartial advice about our procedures. Read more about the advice we give.
