Land charges

Land Charges are searches of property history. They take place when a property is changing hands, usually by solicitors acting on behalf of the purchasers. Searches are submitted to us and we provide information about planning applications, building regulation applications, enforcement activity, conditions or other charges on the property or land being sold.

Request a property history search

You can submit multiple searches (of different types, including adding Part 2 questions), attach plan/s, request copies of Section 220 Notices or Section 38 Agreements and calculate the overall fee to make one payment online.

All search requests need to be accompanied by a plan, with the boundary of the land in question marked in red. Plans are not required for copy notice or agreement requests.

Request and pay for standard searches or copy notices/agreements
