Citizen's charter
We aim to complete 95% of written searches within five working days. In 2007/08 the response rate was 99.86% within five days and 100% in ten days.
At present, we are achieving a two day turnaround for responding to a search and have taken steps to ensure that we continue to achieve this demanding target in the future.
We also aim to guide personal callers when carrying out personal searches.
The standards of the service which you can expect from us and what to do if you have a problem are set out in the Local Land Charges and Land and Property Gazetteer Citizen's Charter.
Our commitment is to:
- give clear, concise and accurate information at all times
- treat everyone with respect and courtesy
- actively seek ways of improving the quality of our service.
- assist with all search related enquiries
- assist with relevant property related queries.
