Local Land Charges

Buying a property, be it a house, flat, shop or a plot of land, is a big commitment - probably the most expensive you will ever make.  It is vital to get as wide a picture as possible of all factors which may affect your use and enjoyment of the property and this is where the Land Charges Section fits in.  Part of the process will involve a request for a local search at the Council, usually submitted by your solicitor or licensed conveyancer and is required by banks or building societies when securing a mortgage.

The Local Land Charges section is the responsibility of the Department of Legal and Democratic Services
