Lewes District Council improves the property-buying process in the area
From today buying a property in Lewes district has become quicker and simpler for everyone.
Most local land charges are restrictions or prohibitions on the use of property or land, such as planning permissions or listed building status. A search of the national register will reveal whether a property is subject to a charge. And enable the buyer to make an informed decision about the purchase.
Transformation supports wider government priorities to make property transactions quicker, simpler and cheaper. Anyone can access the register's Search for local land charges service. Business customers can also access it through their portal account or Business Gateway.
Users of the national register can download a personal search free of charge or buy an official search for £15. This will allow unlimited repeat searches for six months. All information is delivered in a standard easy-to-read format, with geospatial maps.
We are pleased to be among the early adopters of the new register, which enables our customers to benefit from a transparent user-friendly service. For more information visit GOV.UK.
