We work together with South Staffordshire District Council to deliver local land charge searches as part of the Southern Staffordshire Local Land Charges Partnership.
When you buy a property or piece of land, your solicitor will request a local land charges (LLC) search to check for any legal restrictions affecting it.
A local land charge search will let you know about any of the below that relate to a particular piece of land or building:
- Planning applications
- Enforcement notices
- Conservation areas
- Tree preservation orders
- Listed buildings
- Financial charges
- Smoke control areas
- Legal agreements
- Highway agreements
- Improvement and renovation grants
As part of a national programme, LLC1 searches are transferring to the Land Registry - find out more.
