Local land charges searches

There are 3 different types of searches:

• LLC1 Form
  The LLC1 form will reveal any information listed in the Local Land Charges Register. It will note if there are any outstanding charges, as well as details of any tree preservation orders, renovation grants, conservation, listed buildings etc.
• Con29 Form
  A Con29 search is a questionnaire about the land/property sent out to various departments within Gwynedd Council.
  
  Part 1 contains answers to a series of standard questions about the property or land, revealing details of any local plans for the area, building regulations, planning decision, road proposals and so on.
  
  Part 2 gives answers to any additional questions asked such as common land, public paths, completion orders, etc. 

• Personal searches 
  
  
  Personal searches appointments are currently unavailable. We apologise for any inconvenience.  Close
  
  Anyone can make a personal search. Please note however that this is a search of the local land charges register only, and does not include the majority of the information outlined in the CON29.
  
  If you wish to carry out a personal search, please contact us to arrange an appointment: (you will need the full address of the property/land, the name of the personal searcher and a contact telephone number).
