• Frequently asked questions

• The first part of the search - the LLC1 form - will reveal all the charges registered against the property, for example Conditional Planning Permissions and Tree Preservation Orders.  These charges are binding on successive owners of the property or land.

• The second part of the search - the CON29 form - will provide other relevant information held by various Departments of the Council such as Local Plan information, nearby road schemes and Notices etc. under the Planning Acts.

*Please make an appointment with the Land Charges Section if you wish to make a personal Search.

• Who carries out the Local Land Charges search?
  Search requests are usually received from the Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer acting for the purchaser of a property.  Personal Search Companies also make searches and anyone can make a search if they submit their request on the correct forms.  These forms - the LLC1 and CON29 - are available from Legal stationers.

• How can I be sure that a property lies within the Eastleigh Borough Council  boundary?
  If you do not have access to a suitable plan, telephone our office and we will endeavour to help you.

• How long will it take to process my search?
  Usually no more than 10 working days

• Do you have an Expedited search service?
  No

• How many forms do I need to submit?
  The LLC1 and Con29 forms should be submitted in duplicate when sending in a postal request.

• Do I need to send you any plans of the property?
  Yes, we require 3 copies of the plan with the property to be searched on clearly marked in red.

• Does a Commercial search cost more than a Residential search?
  No, the fee is the same.

• What is a Personal Search?
  A Personal Search is an inspection of the Local Land Charges Register.  At Eastleigh Borough Council we supply you with a photocopy of the registered Land charges that affect your property.

• What is the difference between a Personal Search and a Local Authority search?
  A Personal Search will provide you with information similar to that of an LLC1 request but its content is your own responsibility and its accuracy is not guaranteed by the Council.  A CON29 form is not used for a Personal Search enquiry and if you wish to ask any similar questions you must approach each individual Council department yourself.  You may be charged for any information that is provided following such requests.
