UNI-form Total Land Charges:
Capitalise on your land-charge searches

Times are changing for your authority's local land charges (LLC) function, and your systems need to evolve to deliver high-quality information and a fast turnaround. By automating every stage of the process, you can turn your LLC service into a source of revenue rather than a drain on resources.

How UNI-form Total Land Charges can help

The UNI-form Total Land Charges module offers your LLC function the following advantages:

Lower costs and higher fee margins by automating previously manual processes.

Improved citizen service through enhanced data consistency and faster search responses.

Full compatibility with the National Land Information Service (NLIS).

Control and visibility of all searches for trend analysis, auditing and effective management.

Adaptability to new data sources and evolving local government processes, and support for your modernisation objectives.

Faster turnaround times for searches

By automating searches, UNI-form Total Land Charges helps you reduce turnaround times from as much as 15 days down to one day or less, enhancing citizen service. For CON29 questions that must be completed by other departments, the system will distribute requests and collate the answers automatically; and if those departments have complete electronic data repositories, UNI-form Total Land Charges will simply interrogate their data directly.

Interworking with other data sources

UNI-form Total Land Charges is designed to work with all your existing data sources to automate responses to both LLC1 and CON29 searches. And through the UNI-form Gazetteer Management System (GMS), it has access to:

Land, people and property information gathered by UNI-form systems used across your local authority.

Data held in the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG), ensuring that data referencing is consistent across all systems.

NLIS integration for efficiency and cost-savings

Using the CAPS Solutions NLIS Gateway Connector, you can integrate your Total Land Charges module with NLIS. UNI-form Total Land Charges can then receive online searches automatically, process them and submit the completed forms. This helps you handle the increasing volume of searches that come through NLIS, and significantly reduces the cost you incur for each search.

Ready to use out of the box

UNI-form Total Land Charges is equipped with a range of pre-configured macros to suit common questions and data sources. You can go live with these standard macros for immediate productivity gains and a fast return on your investment, then expand at your own pace to build up your systems and produce the full efficiency savings.
