Local land charge CON29 searches

Local land charge CON29 searches give potential buyers important information from a local authority. You can email official searches to us on form CON29 (for matters such as assets of community value).

We would advise you to seek legal advice when buying or selling a property. We accept electronic searches sent via the National Land Information Service (NLIS).

Additional guidance about buying a home can be found at GOV.UK.

You are required to send us a plan with the property clearly marked, for searches on commercial and industrial properties, new residential developments and searches where you ask CON29 questions.
