Local Land Charges Searches

Before buying a property, you need to request a Local Land Charges Search. This will identify things like road-building plans nearby or if a public footpath crosses the property.

A solicitor, licensed conveyancer or personal search company usually applies for a search to be made, but private individuals or organisations can also make them.

When you send in your search request, please provide two copies of an up-to-date Ordnance Survey plan with the boundary of the propertly clearly marked. 

Due to the postal strikes, Waverley has decided to make the Land Charges forms available on the website.  Please complete the forms, save them, then email them to landcharges@waverley.gov.uk. We will ring you upon receipt to organise payment.
