Note:- * A Con29 is the
Official Enquiry Search Form that is compiled of standard set

the Council and the Land Charges Act 1975. The search is completed
by trained Council staff and contains information regarding
Planning Permissions, Tree Preservation Orders, Listed Buildings,
Road Agreements and Schemes to name a few. All of which is vital
information whether you are buying or selling a house.
A search of the Local Land Charges

a written request on a LLC 1 Form, either by post or electronically
through one of the channels supporting the NLIS hub (National

No Surprises!!
When you buy a house, a search of
the Council's records will ensure there are no hidden surprises,
such as:
- Repayment of monies owed to the
Council.
- Whether there are any trees on
your land protected by law.
- Future developments/road
schemes.
