Land Charges
Personal Land Search
A Personal Land Charge search is carried out by a member of the public or their representative. Since COVID the requests for this service should be made via email to enquiries@hyndburnbc.gov.uk they will give you the next available appointment date and time. When booking an appointment in this way a plan should be provided with the area edged in red.
Some additional information can be requested at the same time but a fee will be applied which are on the refined data list. Please view a list of all associated fees.
In practice, personal searches are carried out by professional agents acting for solicitors or conveyances. However they will only be looking at Statutory Public Registers and not the other detailed information held by the Council; this data can be obtained by an agent for a further fee.
If you propose to use an alternative service you should consider the following –
- What searches will actually be carried out?
- What qualifications and experience will the searcher have?
- What will I get for my money?
