When buying, leasing or mortgaging property or land in Leicestershire, you (or your legal representatives) can submit your search request in one place, instead of contacting the relevant local authority to carry out a property search.
Property searches are required to find out if there are any matters affecting a building or plot of land such as tree preservation orders, listed building status and planning applications.
All the district and borough authorities in Leicestershire along with the city and county council have worked together to form the new LeicesterShire Land and Property Searches Partnership with the aim of providing searches that are faster, accurate, trustworthy and insured by the local authority.
The project has been delivered with support from the Access to Services Programme which aims to simplify customer access to information, create savings and encourage public and voluntary sector partners to work more closely together.
