Local Land Charges

Why do I need a local land charges search from North Devon District Council?

Buying or selling a property is probably the biggest financial transaction you will make in your life. Therefore, it is important to get it right. Below we list the facts about local land charge searches undertaken by North Devon District Council.
  • A local search provides information on the planning aspects of the property, the maintenance of the highways abutting the property, details of any environmental issues affecting the property, enforcement issues and much more.
  • There is only one official local land charge search and that is provided by North Devon District Council.
  • Our search is fully backed up by insurance which does not expire or run out at any given point.
  • Our search does not rely on insurance to cover missing answers to enquiries. We provide a full result and seek out the answers to all the enquiries.
  • Many solicitors will not accept searches that have been undertaken by third party companies thus increasing the buying and selling costs if a search has to be done again. Get it right the first time, have an official local land charge search done by North Devon District Council.
