Apply for a local authority search
Local authority searches are usually submitted by solicitors acting on behalf of potential buyers. This will be part of the work completed by a solicitor as part of a property transaction.
Fees
Fees vary depending on which district or borough the property falls within. Please contact the relevant authority if you need this information in advance.
Apply online
To apply for a search of the Local Land Charges Register in Blaby, Harborough, North West Leicestershire and Oadby and Wigston districts, please visit HM Land Registry. For other parts of Leicestershire, you can apply online through LeicesterShire Land & Property Searches for a LLC1 search.
You can also apply online through LeicesterShire Land & Property Searches for a CON29/O search for all Leicestershire districts and boroughs.
Apply by post
Submit the standard application forms (LLC1* and CON29/O) to the relevant local authority. This will be the Local Land Charges department of the district or borough council in which the property is located. Contact details for these authorities are available on the LeicesterShire Land & Property Searches website.
*Please note: LLC1 applications can no longer be accepted by districts and boroughs that have migrated to the HM Land Registry online local land charges register.
