Land Registry has announced the names of the local authorities who will take part in a prototype to see if their local land charge registers can be consolidated into a digitised central register.

If successful, this means Land Registry could provide local land charge searches alongside the title register and plan through its existing e-channels, to a standardised price, format and turnaround time. Land charge searches cover a wide range of property related entries including tree preservation orders and conservation areas.

The local authorities are:

• Sefton
• Liverpool
• Denbighshire
• Newark and Sherwood
• Swindon
• Havant
• Watford.
