HM Land Registry

Under the Infrastructure Act 2015 (opens new window) responsibility for the 336 registers was transferred to HM Land Registry (HMLR) in a phased approach. The first transfer was in summer 2018.

HM Land Registry are working in partnership with local authorities in England and Wales to standardise and migrate local land charges register information to one accessible place.

Local authorities will continue to provide replies to CON29 enquiries, such as nearby road schemes or outstanding notices, which may affect a purchaser's decision whether to proceed. Once a local authority's local land charges data has been migrated to HM Land Registry, you will no longer be able to get local land charge search results from that local authority.

Land Registry hope to migrate the Breckland area in 2025/26.
