Local Land Charges in Cornwall
Cornwall still runs its own register, so a standard search comes from the council rather than from HM Land Registry, at 263.75 pounds. That is more than twice Torbay's 129.50 and nearly three times Plymouth's CON29-only fee, which reflects that Cornwall is still selling both halves.
How Long a Search Actually Takes in Cornwall
Cornwall publishes 10 working days, but words it as an observation rather than a standard: it is currently taking 10 working days, and the council warns this could increase to at least 20 working days during peak times. For a summer completion in Cornwall that second figure is the one to plan against.
What We Do About Management Packs and Searches in Cornwall
How that becomes a service here, working from what Cornwall Council publishes:
- Answer the search from the register rather than from memory.
- Give a seller the real local turnaround at the outset, so a completion date is set against it rather than against a hope.
We charge a fixed annual fee for management and take no commission on contractor work. A building in Cornwall pays the contractor's price, not the contractor's price plus ours.
How This Works, in General
The law here is the same in Cornwall as it is anywhere in England, and it is set out in full on our Leasehold Conveyancing & Management Packs page rather than repeated on this one. What changes locally is above: the authority, the figures, and what the tribunal has actually done with cases nearby.
