Local Land Charges
The role of the Local Land Charges Service is to to maintain and update the Local Land Charges Register. The issue of official certificates of search and con 29 enquiry replies.
The Local Land Charges search and Con 29 Enquiries are an integral part of the conveyance process and therefore it is important that we provide an efficient and responsive service.
The process is fully automated and results are produced by the Land Charges computerised system. Steady improvements to the system have resulted in the service being able to receive and dispatch Search applications through the National Land Information System (NLIS).
The implementation of the Land Charges Computer system has enabled us to achieve a significant improvement to turnaround times. The new system has ensured that all standard search applications are returned within the 10 working day Best Value Performance Indicator and in almost every case search applications are now being returned in 4 working days.
Further improvements to the service have been made by signing up to NLIS level 3 which allows access to our service on-line. Those search applications that are submitted to us via the NLIS hub are returned in 3 working days.
