Local Land Charges programme - where can I find more details?

Where can I find more information about the Local Land Charges programme and the progress that has been made?

Every local authority in England and Wales, with the exception of county councils, is required to hold a Local Land Charges register that records obligations affecting properties within their administrative area. Under the <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/7/contents/enacted">Infrastructure Act 2015</a>&nbsp;responsibility for the 331 registers was transferred to HM Land Registry in a phased approach. The first transfer was in summer 2018.<br> <br> This was a historic step forward in the Government’s ambition to make the homebuying process simpler, faster and cheaper. It is also an important part of our Business Strategy to help improve the entire conveyancing process.<br> <br> HM Land Registry is working in partnership with local authorities in England and Wales to standardise and migrate Local Land Charges register information to one accessible place. Anyone can access our Local Land Charges service through our <a href="https://search-local-land-charges.service.gov.uk/">Search for Local Land Charges service</a>.<br> <br> Business customers can also access it through their <a href="https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/eservices/HomePageRouter">Portal accounts</a> or Business Gateway.
