Property buyers in 5 local authority areas will soon be able to obtain Local Land Charges (
LLC) information from HM Land Registry’s national
LLC Register.
Stockton-on-Tees, Spelthorne, Sevenoaks, Stratford-on-Avon and Welwyn Hatfield councils are due to join the register in the next few weeks. Property buyers and conveyancers can then obtain instant online search results, enabling timelier decision-making.

From today (1 April 2021), the Local Land Charges (Fees) (Wales) Rules 2021 come into force. These rules align the Welsh Local Land Charges (LLC) service fees payable to the Chief Land Registrar with those payable in England. It will enable the transfer of Welsh local authority LLC data to the central register.
Allison Bradbury, Head of Local Land Charges Implementation, said:
The LLC programme has worked closely with the Welsh Government to support the Local Land Charges (Fees) consultation and legislation introduction.
Welsh local authorities now have an opportunity to benefit from a modernised digital service that takes advantage of speed and simplicity.
