Local Land Charges in Cheltenham
Cheltenham migrated to the national register on 1 September 2022 and holds the highest quality rating for it, so it no longer issues an LLC1 or takes personal searches at all: the LLC1 goes to HM Land Registry at the national fee and Cheltenham answers only the CON29, at £214.80 including VAT. It publishes net, VAT and gross columns, which is unusually transparent. One current limitation worth knowing: the council says system constraints mean it cannot yet answer individual CON29R questions, so per-question pricing does not exist here yet.
How Long a Search Actually Takes in Cheltenham
Cheltenham publishes 10 working days from receipt of the fee. That gives a seller or conveyancer a published standard to measure a stalled search against, and to chase the council on if it slips. Neighbouring Gloucester, twelve miles away and in the same county, publishes none.
