The Statutory Charges Registry provides purchasers of land with an easy method of checking whether a property is affected by certain statutory restrictions which could not easily be discovered.
These restrictions which, for the most part, are created by or in favour of government departments or local authorities include such matters as planning permission or tree preservation orders.
Lawlink NI can search from a map to identify whether or not particular properties are affected by any legal restrictions or constraints as imposed by a statutory body, such as conservation acts, water and sewerage and road bonds etc.
