Find out about searches on a property

From 14^th 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 visit GOV.UK and search for Local Land Charges (opens new window).

Our fees depend on the use of a property. A residential property is one in which someone lives. A commercial property is a property owned or used by a business or a piece of land which does not contain any buildings.
