Services and fee list

When submitting a 'Local Land Charges Requisition for Search' you should include forms LLC1 and CON29 in duplicate (these forms are obtainable from Solicitors or Law Stationers). You should also send a cheque made payable to 'London Borough of Richmond upon Thames' (LBRuT) for the correct fee.

If you have a plan of the premises send us two copies outlining the relevant area clearly in red. We do not usually require them for numbered residential premises - but we will always need two plans in the case of land, sub-divided premises, named premises or industrial sites with the area outlined as described above.
