Local Land Charges

We've teamed up with Leicestershire's other councils to make it easy to submit search requests for any land or property in the city or county.

Visit the Leicestershire Searches website to submit search requests for land or property in Leicester or Leicestershire.  

If you have any difficulties using the website, contact the Land Charges team on 01530 454513 or email land.charges@nwleicestershire.gov.uk

Alternatively you can still make a search request via NLIS (National Land Information Service) or TM Group search services.

Please note that our approach to providing information under the Environmental Information Regulations may change to a self-service solution.

Land Charges register 

Our Local Land Charges Register is now held on HM Land Registry’s national register.

Visit the national Local Land Charges Register

Most local land charges are restrictions or prohibitions on the use of property or land, such as planning permissions or listed building status.

A search of the national register shows whether a property is subject to a charge. This means buyers are now be able to make a quicker informed decision about the purchase by completing the searches themselves.

Anyone can access the register’s Search for local land charges service.

Business customers can also access the register through their portal account or Business Gateway.
