Local land charges were originally introduced to inform the buyer of any obligations which may affect them. These potential obligations, or 'charges' must be registered against the land when they're created. As they are registered against the land itself, they can affect successive owners who must comply with them.
Important notice
Lambeth Council no longer provides a Local Land Charge Personal Search service or a search of the Local Land Charges Register (LLC1).
The Local Land Charges Register has been migrated to HM Land Registry. You can access this digital service through your portal account, business gateway and on the HM Land Registry pages on GOV.UK.
Lambeth Council will continue to provide replies to CON29 enquiries.
