About local land charges

It is important to have a search carried out when buying a property as it is designed to protect prospective purchasers.

A property search informs the prospective purchaser of, for instance:

• plans to build a new road in the vicinity
• whether the highway fronting the property is public or privately maintained
• to let them know about planning permissions/conditions
• tree preservation orders, enforcement notices
• housing grants etc, which may affect the property to be purchased.
