Requesting an official search – there are full instructions on the Local Land Charge Search forms. Your solicitor will have these forms or you can buy them from law stationers.
Both the LLC1 and CON29 forms should be submitted at the same time if answers to both are required.
Searches must include the following when submitted to be accepted for processing:-
If a search is submitted by a solicitor by post, cheques drawn on the solicitor’s client account are requested, made payable to ‘Burnley Borough Council’ for the correct amount as set out in the schedule of fees. Clients’ own cheques are not accepted as a method of payment.
The correct address quoted together with an up to date scale plan in duplicate showing the extent and location of the land subject of search, clearly edged in red.
