Local land charges searches
Land charges property searches are part of the conveyancing process when a property is bought, sold or remortgaged. We are responsible for maintaining the Local Land Charges register and for providing Official Local Authority Searches from the register as well as other records held by the Council. These can include any:
- Tree Preservation Orders
- Smoke Control Orders
- Listed Buildings.
There are two methods of making a search:
- Standard local land charges search: which is usually made up of two parts (LLC1 and Official Certificate of Search)
- Standard searches of the Local Land Charges Register in Leicestershire
The Leicestershire Searches service allows people to request Local Land Charges Searches for all properties in Leicestershire in one place, making the process quicker and simpler.
