Land Charges

Register of charges against properties and land within the Vale of Glamorgan.

 

The purpose of a Local Search is to supply the homebuyer with information about the property they may be buying. The homebuyer would inform their solicitor acting for them to proceed with the Local Search.

HM Land Registry Migration

Advisory: From 18/08/2025 we will no longer provide a local land charges search service.  

 

After this date, our Local Land Charges Register will be migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. You will be able to access the new digital service through Portal, Business Gateway and on HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK pages.

 

Vale of Glamorgan will continue to provide replies to Con29 enquiries.

 

It is important to remember to only submit the required fee of £126.00 plus VAT when submitting a CON29 enquiry to us after 18/08/2025.
