Planned maintenance to our systems

You will not be able to access your online council tax and benefits account or the planning portal on Friday 21 August. This is whilst planned maintenance is carried out. We apologise for any inconvenience. 

Find out about searches on a property

Apply for an official search

We are currently working with HM Land Registry to migrate our Local Land Charges register to the HM Land Registry central Local Land Charges digital register.
Once this process is complete, HM Land Registry will provide search results for Local Land Charges searches in the Guildford Borough Council area.
We will no longer be able to provide LLC1 or Personal Searches. Guildford Borough Council will continue to provide replies to Con29 enquiries.
We will provide an exact date for when this service will go live in due course.
For more information visit GOV.UK and search for Local Land Charges (opens new window).


To arrange an official search, you'll need to provide:

  • the necessary forms - LLC1 and CON29 (ask your solicitor for a copy to complete)
  • an up-to-date plan of the property which clearly shows the boundaries

Email the forms and plan to landcharges@guildford.gov.uk and pay for them with our online form.
