LLC Industrialisation

Notice of Webinar on 15th July 2020

Local land charges (LLCs) are charges or restrictions on land, imposed by public authorities under statutory powers that affect successive owners and occupiers of the land. Examples include planning conditions, tree preservation orders or listed building status. This information is key to a buyer's decision to invest in a property or parcel of land and is obtained as part of a local authority search completed, which forms part of the home buying process.

LLC information comprises some 25 million records and is currently held by over 300 individual Local Authorities (LAs) in varied formats (e.g. digital, electronic, paper, microfiche) and to differing standards and levels of accessibility. Currently, the cost can be between nothing and £80 and can take anything from a day to in excess of a month to obtain this information.

The LLC Programme will transform what is currently a fragmented service, lacking consistent standards, into a single national register of circa 25 million records. The data will be held geospatially on a register that includes a map of the affected land.

As a pathfinder, Phase 1 has been a success, with nine LAs and almost 400,000 charges migrating to the new register to date, proving the register is feasible and provides benefits for customers.

However, we want to significantly increase the pace of delivery, so HMLR is looking to work with suppliers to create additional capacity and capabilities. Therefore HMLR intends to create those capabilities, within a more flexible commercial approach with a wider range of suppliers.

Following our Webinar on 9th April and very productive conversations with numerous suppliers we want to provide an update.

We are therefore holding a further Webinar at 09:30 on Wednesday 15th July 2020. The agenda will cover:- • Programme Update • Proposed Delivery Models • Pipeline of Work and Volumes • Overview of the Statement of Requirements • Demonstration of HMLR tooling • Commercial Approach and updated timeline

Whether or not you have engaged in our Early Market Engagement thus far, if you consider that your company can provide services and/or products to assist in these processes do attend our Webinar.
