It couldn't be easier to apply for official local authority searches using our Public Access for Land Charges System (PALC). The fully integrated system provides a totally electronic official search service connecting users directly to the property data held by us.
Our Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) holds the addresses of every known property in Hertsmere. Therefore, if the property you are looking for does not appear in the drop down menu there is a probably reason. Before submitting your search, please check the following:
If you have not used the system before we would recommend reading the guidance notes first. When uploading your search, please ensure plans do not exceed 4MB.
For more detailed highways information; enhanced searches and highway extent plans, which are not part of the standard search service, please contact Hertfordshire Highways Land Charges direct or visit their website for a list of their fees and charges.
We are only accepting electronic searches at this time so the fees and charges below apply to searches submitted via our Public Access System PALC.
