Local Land Charges in Wiltshire
Wiltshire has not migrated, so both halves still come from the council. On the last individually published schedule a residential search is 155 pounds for the CON29 plus 33 for the LLC1, and the expedited tier is 243 plus 55. Commercial is 216, or 325 expedited. Wiltshire publishes no VAT column and no VAT note anywhere in the schedule, so do not assume the usual split where the LLC1 is outside scope and the CON29 is standard rated.
How Long a Search Actually Takes in Wiltshire
Wiltshire publishes no turnaround at all, but it publishes something that tells you almost as much: an expedited tier at a 57 to 67 per cent premium. Two service levels demonstrably exist and neither is quantified. If a Wiltshire sale is under pressure, the expedited fee is the only lever the published material offers, and you are paying for a difference the council has never stated the size of.
What We Do About Management Packs and Searches in Wiltshire
Management packs and searches in Wiltshire is part of a full management service. What we actually do:
- Keep the register entries and the management record consistent, so a search does not raise a question the file cannot answer.
- Tell a conveyancer what Wiltshire Council actually takes, and build the timetable on that.
Our fee for that is a fixed annual amount with no commission on contractor work, so the advice above costs the building nothing extra when it turns into a job.
How This Works, in General
The law here is the same in Wiltshire 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.
