What's happening with Local Land Charges?

The intended centralisation of the Local Land Charges registers has been well documented; but it's not the only item on the agenda for Local Land Charge teams.In this latest Today's Conveyancer Podcast host David Opie is joined by Land Data Chief Executive Fiona Barron, Pat Morgan, Chair of the Local Land Charges Institute, and Nick Dyoss, Director of NLIS.The discussion centres on the work being done in Local Land Charges departments in response to greater digitisation and how councils are supporting efforts to centralise the registers. By their own admission, there is a way to go; Local Land Charges have operated independently with little standardisation for many years but times are very much changing. Like conveyancers, LLC departments have also grappled with the impact of the pandemic, the huge rise in demand, cyber attack and recruitment as many long standing public servants have retired, taking a vast amount of knowledge with them.  Listen in to hear the thoughts on the direction of travel for Local Land Charge departments, and their top tips for conveyancers. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.
