Personal Search
You will need to make an appointment but there are no restrictions on how many searches you can do during your visit.
If you wish to carry out a personal search of the Local Land Charges Register, you will need to call us to make an appointment on 023 8083 2980. We are open 12 noon to 4.30pm Monday to Thursday and 12 Noon to 4pm on Friday. Please provide full postal address of the property you require to search on and you may bring any plans with you to assist you.
If you apply to us to do a personal search it only allows you to look at the Local Land Charges Register, which is held in electronic format.
If you are carrying out a personal search, you will need to consult public records held by other departments in the council and those held by other organisations. You will need to make appointments to make enquiries of other departments and organisations.
Certain registers are open to the public. But staff in offices that hold public records are not legally obliged to give you any additional advice. Please check with each department, to find out if they can help you, if you need to make an appointment and what their charges are.
