Local Land Charges

 

The purpose of the Local Land Charges Section is to protect the financial and legal interest of prospective purchasers of land and property. This is achieved by providing information on land and property and giving access to the Local Land Charges Register for the purpose of personal searches.

 

 

A local land charge is a restriction or prohibition on land, either to secure the payment of a sum of money or to limit the use to which the land may be put.

 

The Register of Common Land and Town or Village Green is a statutory register that is available for public inspection within the Local Land Charges Section. A search of this register can be carried out by submitting Form CR21 along with the statutory fee.
