Local Land Charge Fees
Guidance for registering authorities on setting fees for local land charge services in England.
In January 2007 the Government laid the above guidance for local authorities which brought into effect section 13A of the Local land Charges Act 1975 - deregulating the statutory fees payable for a Search of the Local Land Charges Register with the exception of the Statutory Personal Search fee.
The link below provides access to all the support papers and consultation documents issued in respect of deregulation of the LLC1 fee as well as the actual Guidance issued. Click here for further information
