Ask for a local land charges search

See the different types of land charges search and how to apply.

If you're thinking about buying or leasing a property or a plot of land, we recommend you request a local land charges search first. The search will tell you what you need to be aware of before going ahead. 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
  • road information or potential new road schemes which may influence the decision to buy
