CON 29 enquiries
Local land charges system changes
We are upgrading our system, and some services will be unavailable whilst we complete the work.
From Wednesday 9 September to Friday 25 September you will be unable to request a local land charges search. We will not be processing any new requests during this period.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The CON 29 enquiries questionnaire, which forms part of the official search, contains many warning questions. The answers to these questions cannot be found on the legal registers.
Examples of the information to be found only by submitting a CON 29:
- Compulsory Purchase Orders
- Proposed Tree Preservation Orders
- Notices under the Planning, Highways and Public Health Acts not found on any register
- Road proposals or schemes (including road widening)
- Proposed enforcement action or breach of condition notices
An official local authority search provides you with the complete and comprehensive information as per the CON 29 enquiries form, carried out by the Council in accordance with the Local Land Charges Act 1975 and Local Land Charges Rules 1977.
May we remind you that unless an official request for CON 29 answers is submitted, any information from a solicitor or personal search company is not covered by Section 10(3) of the Local Land Charges Act 1975 which relates to compensation for loss.
