Submit a local land charges search
Overview
A local land charge is a restriction on a piece of land or property which can limit its use or make the owner pay a sum of money. A search of the local land charge register shows any charges affecting land or property like planning decisions, tree preservation orders and details of any money owed to the council by previous owners.
We provide searches of the register for people buying, selling or leasing homes, properties or land in Southwark.
Migration of service to HM Land Registry
We are currently working with HM Land Registry to migrate our local land charges service to their central digital register.
When this process is complete, HM Land Registry will provide search results for local land charges searches in the London Borough of Southwark.
We will provide an exact date for when this service will go live in due course. For more information, visit GOV.UK.
