Personal searches

The Local Land Charges Register is available for inspection on our mapping system.

We will require you to book an appointment and you will not be permitted to enter either venue without one.

On the day of your appointment please send the addresses being searched in a single email to landcharges@arun.gov.uk.

This system can be used to search for all properties within the district. This enables inspection of all registrations held against those properties, except for planning applications approved conditionally from 1 August 1977. These can be found when inspecting the planning history.
