County council searches
A county council land charge search looks for restrictions, charges, or obligations registered against a property by the county council.
These can include things like road schemes, proposed road widening, tree preservation orders, planning enforcement notices, or financial charges for work the council has carried out and expects the owner to repay.
It’s an important part of the conveyancing process because these charges and restrictions can affect how the land or property can be used, developed, or sold in the future.
The search ensures that buyers are aware of any ongoing responsibilities or legal constraints before committing to a purchase.
