Environment

The Local Land Charges Services provides local authority searches. These are usually required when you are buying property and give you information about planning applications, planned developments, highway schemes and financial charges that affect the property you are interested in. These searches will often be arranged by your solicitors, when they are dealing with your house purchase. They ensure that you are aware of all relevant facts about the property you are interested in purchasing, before you make the final decision to buy.

The Bradford Local Land Charges Team are situated in City Hall in the centre of Bradford. We currently employ six members of staff with a wealth of Local Land Charges knowledge amounting to over 90 years experience.

In the last twelve months we have invested heavily in new technology with the introduction of a computerised Land Charges Service. We have also signed an agreement with the National Land Information Service, to enable you to send your search requests to us via the Internet. Further information on this is available from the National Information Service.

Land Charges Teams Mission Statement is to meet the public's expectation for quality and dependability in service delivery particularly in the processing of local land charges searches.

Local Authority Searches can be submitted in two ways via post/DX (to the address, below) or via the Internet using NLIS. See below.

Full searches are requested using standard forms Con29 & LLC1, which are available from all legal stationeries.
