Local Land Charges in Plymouth
Plymouth moved its local land charges register to the national one on 7 January 2022, earlier than any other council in this research, so an LLC1 goes to HM Land Registry and Plymouth sells only the CON29, at £92. Its published fee table prices optional enquiries two ways: £14 each when they go in with a CON29R, or £10 per question plus a £12 processing fee when they go in on their own. A conveyancer ordering optional enquiries on a Plymouth flat should confirm with the council which route it will charge.
How Long a Search Actually Takes in Plymouth
Plymouth publishes 10 working days for a CON29. That is a published standard you can hold the council to, which is more than Bristol offers and slower than North Devon's one working day.
What We Do About Leasehold Packs and Searches in Plymouth
How that becomes a service here, working from what Plymouth City 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.
Fixed annual fee, no commission on contractor work.
