Local land charges

Whether you are buying or selling a property or business, are a conveyancer, private company or member of the public, our local land charges team are here to help.

We monitor our service with our annual customer satisfaction survey.

Land-related enquiries fall into three groups:

• ownership of a piece of land or responsibility for a particular boundary, fence or wall
• council-owned land – enquiries should be made to the Asset and Property Management
• privately owned land – these are dealt with by the District Land Registry
