  Land Charges

  
   

Welcome to the Local Land Charges Service for St Albans City & District. Local Land Charges were originally designed to ensure that purchasers of land were not caught unawares by obligations enforceable against successive owners by local authorities under the terms of various statutes. A local land charge is a restriction on an area of land either to secure payment of a sum of money or to limit its use and is binding on successive owners or occupiers.

Submission of a Search

  
    The LLC1 and Con29 Forms should be submitted in duplicate together with two copies of a plan on which is outlined the clear and correct address to be searched against and a Solicitors cheque for the correct fee made payable to St Albans City & District Council. If information is needed on 'other roadways, footways and footpaths' then Box C on the Con29 needs to have the exact details added thereto and the roadways etc need to be marked on the plan submitted. We aim to return the completed search within 5 working days.

Personal Searches

  
    A personal search is an inspection of the Local Land Charges Register and this does not supply all the information that would be obtained from a normal LLC1 and Con29 search. Appointments can be made between the hours of 10.00am - 12.00 and 2.00pm - 4.00pm Monday to Friday providing a minimum of 24 hours notice is given and a clear and accurate plan is supplied.
