A local land charges search lets you search the local land charges (LLC) register and get information held by various departments of the council.
From 18 July 2023, you must search for local land charges in the Bristol area through HM Land Registry.
In addition to the above LLC part of your search provided by HM Land Registry, we can provide the CON29 responses (Enquiries of Local Authorities form)
CON29 (Enquiries of Local Authorities form)
This covers issues that aren't registerable, like:
- planning history
- road schemes
- radon affected areas and
- various notices which affect the property
How to get a full search
Send your request by email to landcharges@bristol.gov.uk and attach one location plan. If optional enquiries are required, please specify question numbers. There's no need to send any forms.
Due to HMRC's recent directive, VAT is now to be included on CON29 searches and optional enquiries.
You must clearly mark fees to be paid at the start of all your emailed search requests so we can calculate the VAT. Otherwise, your request will be delayed.
You'll need to make sure you send us confirmation of payment with your search request to landcharges@bristol.gov.uk
We cannot process any requests without proof of payment.
We'll supply you with a VAT receipt when you receive your search results.
