Submitting a Local Authority search.

  • To process a full search we will require the appropriate forms; 2 x LLC1, 1 x Con29R (2007 Edition), if required 1x Con29O, two plans and the correct fee. The cheque should be signed and made payable to East Devon District Council.
  • If an LLC1 only search is being submitted we will require 2 x LLC1, 2 x plans and the correct fee.
  • Roads in particular should be clearly identified and stated in Boxes B and/or C on the Con29R.  Failure to do so may result in you having to make additional enquiries with Devon County Council, which may incur an additional fee.
  • Please note we do not hold copies of the forms, these can be obtained either from a Solicitors or a Legal Stationers.

Electronic Searches.

As well as submitting your Local Authority Search manually, it is also possible to submit your searches online via the NLIS (National Land Information Service) hub.  We currently receive around 40% of our searches electronically.

Submitting a search electronically saves paper, time and expense. From 2008 we are returning all of the NLIS searches online

Paper Searches.

If you would like your search returned in PDF format, please supply your e-mail address on the front of the LLC1 Form. Please note that we would not send a further hard copy if you opt to receive a PDF reply.
