Local Land Charges

Our Local Land Charges Register has migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. We will no longer provide a Local Land Charges search service, you can access the new digital service through the Portal, Business Gateway and on HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK pages.

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council will continue to provide replies to CON29 and CON29O enquiries.

It is important to remember to only submit the required fee of £126.00 when submitting a CON29 and CON29O enquiry.

CON29 deals with issues such as road schemes, the planning history of the property and environmental matters.

CON290 is an optional form dealing with additional enquiries that may relate specifically to the land/property being searched.

The fees for Local Authority Searches are as follows: -

A request for a Commons Search must also be submitted to the Land Charges Section.  You will need to supply a CON29 Optional Enquiry form, ticking Enquiry No 22. The fee for this is £12.00 (including VAT).

All search request forms must be submitted via e-mail to land.charges@blaenau-gwent.gov.uk  We would also remind you that Local Authority Searches will only be accepted with the correct fee, payable via BACS, copy of the CON29 / CON29O and a site location plan. We aim to return search results within 10 working days. 

We will not carry out a search unless a site location plan is enclosed.
