From 4 January 2024, we will no longer provide a local land charges search service.  

After this date, our Local Land Charges Register will have migrated to HM Land Registry’s national register. You will be able to access a new digital service through Portal, Business Gateway and on HM Land Registry’s GOV.UK pages.

East Devon District Council will continue to provide replies to Con29 enquiries.

It is important to remember to only submit the required fee of £81 (inc vat) when submitting a CON29 enquiry to us after 4 January 2024
