Local Land Charges in Somerset
Somerset has not migrated its register to the national one, so both halves of a search still come from the council: 18 pounds for the LLC1, 174 including VAT for the CON29R, 192 for the two together. Two cautions. The council's web page and its corporate fee register disagree on the add-ons, the register still carrying legacy per-former-district rates from before unitarisation, so check the figure you are quoted against the page rather than the spreadsheet. And personal search arrangements are still split four ways by former district, each with its own portal, nearly three years after the districts merged.
How Long a Search Actually Takes in Somerset
Somerset publishes 10 working days, which puts it among the minority that publish anything at all. Of the councils checked across this whole build, only Somerset and Cheltenham publish a turnaround; Bristol, Gloucester, Wiltshire, Torbay and Exeter publish none.
What We Do About Management Packs and Searches in Somerset
Management packs and searches in Somerset is part of a full management service. What we actually do:
- 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 Somerset pays the contractor's price, not the contractor's price plus ours.
How This Works, in General
The law here is the same in Somerset 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.
