What are Land Charges?

Local land charges are obligations affecting a property, which are enforceable against subsequent purchasers of that property under various statues. These may include:

• Tree Preservation Orders
• Certain enforcement notices
• Planning obligations
• Designation as a Conservation Area

The Land Charges Search obtains a report of any entries in the Register of Local Land Charges created, updated and maintained by the Local Authority as required under the Local Land Charges Act 1975 and subsequent legislation.

What are Local Search Enquiries?

Local Search Enquiries deals with entries not registered as a Land Charge by the Local Authority, though which do affect the subject of the search. These may include: 

• Planning Applications 
• Nearby Road, Rail and Traffic Schemes  
• Compulsory Purchase 
• Contaminated Land 
• Radon Gas
