HM Land Registry safeguards land and property ownership worth more than £4 trillion, including more than £1 trillion of mortgages. The Land Register contains more than 25 million titles, which show evidence of ownership, covering more than 84% of the land mass.
Anyone buying or selling land or property, or taking out a mortgage, must apply to us to register:
• unregistered land or property
• any new owner of registered land or property
• an interest affecting registered land or property, such as a mortgage, a lease or a right of way
When considering each application, we use the law to decide whether and how it should be registered.
We’re committed to carrying out our statutory and commercial business with fairness, openness and honesty.
We are a government department created in 1862, operating as an executive agency and trading fund. Our running costs are covered by the fees paid by the users of our services.
We work in 14 locations across England and Wales.
