This article gives information on local authority hot issues that affect services such as delivery of searches
Products Affected:
- Official Local Authority Search
- Regulated Local Authority Search
Reason:
- Local Land Charges have informed us of a system upgrade between Friday 29th May 2026 to Tuesday 16th June 2026. Searches submitted after 5pm on Thursday 28th May 2026 will not be accepted until Wednesday 17th June 2026 and no searches will be returned during the system downtime.
Expected Delay:
- Their turnaround time has been increased from 15 to 30 working days to account for the downtime.
Options:
- What we can offer is to provide a search delayed indemnity policy. If you would like to proceed with this option, then please send us the limit of indemnity so we can provide you with an accurate quote. Otherwise, we will keep chasing the Local Authority and have the completed search back with you as soon as possible.
