From Tuesday 28 March 2023, we will no longer provide an LLC1 and personal search service. After this date, our Local Land Charges Register will be migrated to HM Land Registry's national register. You will be able to access the new digital service through HM Land Registry’s dedicated portal. You can read more about the changes.
The cut-off date for submitting LLC1 and personal searches to us will be Tuesday 14 March 2023, to allow us to return the results before the migration. We will continue to provide replies to Con29 and CON29O enquiries and you may continue to submit these requests to us after 14 March.
