Local land searches - Wiltshire Council
HomePlanning ServicesLocal land searches
The National Land Information Service (NLIS) is a government initiative aimed at delivering services electronically, with the ultimate aim of speeding up the conveyancing process by using electronic transactions. The NLIS connects users directly to land and property information held by local authorities, central government and other organisations that provide official sources of land and property data. All NLIS searches are classified as ‘official' searches as they are sourced directly from and interpreted by the local authority and other official data providers. All statutory indemnities remain preserved and transferred to end customers.
Types of land searches
A Local Authority Search can consist of the following:
The LLC1 - official certificate of search: and
CON 29R - Enquiries of Local Authority
CON 29O - Optional Enquiries
The LLC1 certificate search is produced from the Land Charges Register. This is a statutory register which is maintained by all local authorities throughout England & Wales. The register consists of 12 parts:
· Part 1 General financial charges
· Part 2 Specific financial charges
· Part 3 Planning Charges
· Part 4 Miscellaneous charges
· Part 5 Fenland ways maintenance charges
· Part 6 Land compensation charges
· Part 7 New towns charges
· Part 8 Civil aviation charges
· Part 9 Opencast mining charges
· Part 10 Listed building charges
· Part 11 Light obstruction notices
· Part 12 Drainage scheme charges
An official search of this register ensures prospective purchasers of property/land are not caught unaware of obligations enforceable against successive owners by the Local Authority.
The CON29R - enquiries of local authority - is a provision for prospective purchasers of property/land to find out about pending issues on the property/land other than that shown in the LLC1 search. The CON29R is important in establishing things such as the status of highways, road improvement schemes, planning proposals, pending conservation areas, building regulations, enforcement and contaminated land.
CON29R requests should be submitted to Local Land Charges at:

Requests will be actioned upon receipt of the appropriate fee and data will be returned via the preferred method requested.

The output report must not be interpreted in any way to consumers, estate agents or solicitors as implying that a full or part Local Authority Search has been carried out. The report is purely an extract of our data files and is provided for interpretation by the company/person who requested it.
The CON29O allows prospective purchasers of property/land to request additional enquiries; in particular the route of a public footpath, bridleway or byway and environmental and pollution notices.
You can obtain these forms from your solicitor or from a law stationer.
