Find out about searches on a property
Personal searches
If you wish to carry out a Personal Search on a property, email the address of the property and a plan to landcharges@guildford.gov.uk. The Local Land Charges register for the property will then be emailed too you. Please allow three working days for us to respond.
From 14th September 2026 Guildford Borough Council will no longer provide results for personal searches of the Local Land Charges Register.
Searches will be provided by HM Land Registry. For more information please visit GOV.UK and search for Local Land Charges. (opens new window)
This type of search means you will only find information which would be on an LLC1 Form. You will not find all CON29 information, but you can look through statutory registers, including:
- the planning register
- the highways register
CON29 Information can be given to you at a cost of £8.00 per question. You can let us know your questions in your email.
Environmental Information Regulations
The law states you can access any environmental information we hold for free. This includes some of the registers we use to answer CON29 questions. To search this information, complete our online support form (opens new window) or call us on 01483 505050.
You'll need to book an appointment to view the register electronically at our office. Appointments can be made between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Not all environmental information is dealt with by the Customer and Case Services Team. To answer CON29 questions, make a formal request to our Information Rights Officer instead.
