Bin collections

Due to the high temperatures forecasted, our bin crews will be starting collections earlier than usual to help keep them safe in the heat. Please make sure your bins are out the night before, as collections will take place from 6.00am for the rest of the week. Thank you for helping our crews work safely during the hot weather.

Official search fees

We are currently working with HM Land Registry to migrate our Local Land Charges register to the HM Land Registry central Local Land Charges digital register.
Once this process is complete, HM Land Registry will provide search results for Local Land Charges searches in the Guildford Borough Council area.
We will no longer be able to provide LLC1 or Personal Searches. Guildford Borough Council will continue to provide replies to Con29 enquiries.
We will provide an exact date for when this service will go live in due course.
For more information visit GOV.UK and search for Local Land Charges (opens new window).


Our fees depend on the kind of property we need to search the register for. A residential property is a property someone lives in. A commercial property is a property owned or used by a business.
