Local Land Charges services and fee list

When submitting a full 'Local Land Charges Requisition for Search' you should include forms LLC1 and CON29 in duplicate (these forms are obtainable from Solicitors or Law Stationers). You may wish to submit CON29O in addition to LLC1/CON29 if you need optional questions. You should also send a cheque made payable to 'London Borough of Richmond upon Thames' (LBRuT) for the correct fee.

One plan is required with every search requisition; please ensure the extent of land and property to be searched is clearly highlighted in red.

Submitting your request

Due to a newer remote way of working, we have limited staff within the offices.

You can submit your request by completing our request a Local Land Charges search form.

Alternatively, submit your request in the following way:

• Email landcharges@richmond.gov.uk requesting information on how to pay by BACS
• Include the LLC1 and Con29 forms, including a plan with the appropriate boundary edged red

The team will then respond detailing the required fee and the bank details, including information on the current turnarounds. The Local Land Charges service no longer accept requests by cheque.
