Please be aware that we are currently working with HM Land Registry to migrate our local land charges service to their central digital register. When this process is complete, HM Land Registry will provide search results for local land charges searches in the Kingston upon Hull area.
We will provide an exact date for when this service will go live, in due course. More information is available on the GOV.UK website.
You can submit a local land charges search online. When you register and submit your search online you benefit from -
- a reduced fee of £90 for standard searches instead of the £118 fee for manual searches (based on a standard residential LLC1 or CON29 search)
- a faster turnaround time of three days
- faster payments with a credit or debit card.
To submit a search you need -
- your credit or debit card details
- a detailed plan of the search being carried out
- a plot number or postcode for any new developments
What happens next
We answer questions using information on the land registers and check the results to make sure it is correct. We inform you of the search results within three working days.
Expedited searches
We process all expedited searches within one working day but you must email us at landcharges@hullcc.gov.uk to make sure the request is processed within the deadline.
