Official Local Authority
We recently won an NLIS license and can now provide official Local Authority searches electronically.
"With e-connection 98% of local authorities", NLIS is working towards the Government’s aim of making e-conveyancing the norm.
Requests for official local authority searches are submitted to the relevant council who reveal any entries on the Land Charges register (Form LLC1). They also answer the questions set out in the CON29R.
What will the search reveal?
The search will be in two parts:-
LLC1 – this first part, the Official Certificate of Search
form, deals with all the registerable charges, for example financial
charges (registered against the property by the local authority),
improvement grants, tree preservation orders, conditional planning
consents and agreements.
CON29R – the second part deals with issues such as road schemes,
the planning history of the property and various notices which affect
the property.
CON290 – If optional enquiries were requested they will be
included in this section.
