Local Authority Searches (Land Charges)
The County Council Land Charges section is responsible for providing information in connection with Local Land Charge searches. The information provided answers questions on highways maintainable at public expense, road schemes and proposed traffic schemes. Generally Solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers submit a search request to the relevant District Council. The search is a statutory requirement in any property or land-based transaction and reveals any planning, environmental health, financial and highway restrictions recorded upon the search subject. A fee is charged for this search. The fees can be seen on the district council’s websites.
Devon County Council’s fees for replying to optional enquiries on the CON 29 are: -
| Standard Letter | £18.00 |
| Additional Questions | £12.00 |
| Question 5 | £4.50 |
| Question 6 | £2.00 |
| Question 8 | £2.00 |
| Question 16 | £2.00 |
| Question 17 | £3.00 |
