Recognised as industry leaders, we have a deep understanding of the diverse sectors we work in. Our roots started in social housing and have successfully expanded to representing large banks and financial institutions, international and national companies (from start-ups to some of the largest), insurance underwriters and brokers, regulators, insolvency practitioners, professional service providers, politicians, individuals, and you, we hope. Central to our ethos is understanding our clients’ culture, aims, and aspirations. We will provide solution-driven services to you through clearly structured, practical and commercially focused advice – we will not simply provide legal advice on a topic without setting out the context in which it applies to you. We are not afraid to roll up our sleeves and take on difficult matters. We have made new laws on behalf of Army Veterans, Regulators, and Social Housing Clients on many occasions to deliver successful outcomes.

HM Land Registry is transforming Local Land Charges (LLC) searches by consolidating over 300 local authority LLC registers into a single, centralised digital service. The national, online LLC Register is removing local variations in price, speed, and format, delivering a consistent, geospatial experience across England and Wales.

Local land charge searches are a vital part of the property-buying process, revealing restrictions or prohibitions on land use. Charges such as planning consents, tree preservation orders, or listed building status can all influence property value and future use.  

Our modernised service makes critical access to LLC information quicker, simpler and more transparent. When complete, the register will contain more than 25 million records, empowering buyers, sellers and professionals to make better informed decisions, earlier in the buying process. 

This ambitious initiative supports the Government’s broader digital ambitions to streamline the homebuying process by enhancing property data transparency and accessibility.
