After Search Service
Search Update Service
We appreciate property sales are not always straight forward and
therefore currently offer an update service for searches
less than six months old.
What is the fee? £35.00
How do I apply? Applications can be made
by letter or email to land.charges@ashford.gov.uk,
quoting the original search reference and property details*.
What happens next? We will process the
request as if it were a standard search but will respond by letter
or email, formally certifying that all replies are the same or
indicating any changes/additions.
Please do not send the original or a copy back to
us. We keep a duplicate copy and
therefore indicating the search number is sufficient.
*Applications must be made by the same solicitors that carried
out the original search.
Copy Documents
With every full local authority search response, we will include
the following (when applicable) at no extra cost.
NEW!
However, should you require any other copy documents as a
result of your search please write to The Planning
Enquiries Team including:
- References for the copy documents you require.
- The correct fee for the document/s you require.
Alternatively, requests can be made by email to planning.enquiries@ashford.gov.uk.

If Things Go Wrong
We hope that our customer service commitment will ensure
satisfaction in all cases. However, in the real world, things
do occasionally go wrong. When they do, we would like you to
tell us so that we can consider what needs to be done to put things
right.
If you would like to discuss a problem or complaint informally
you may do so by telephoning 01233 330450 and asking to speak to
the Land Charges Team Leader.
If you wish to make a formal complaint, please refer to
our Formal Complaints procedure.
