First created in 1862, Her Majesty's Land Registry is a governmental department that registers and safeguards property and land ownership in England and Wales. Employing approximately 4.700 people in 14 locations across England and Wales, the Land Registry currently safeguards land and property worth more than £4 trillion, including £1 trillion worth of mortgages.
Scotland and Northern Ireland have equivalent offices. Scottish land and property ownership records are kept by the Registers of Scotland, whereas Northern Irish records are kept by the Land and Property Services.
If you're not currently registered with the Land Registry, you must do so to buy or sell land or property or take out a mortgage. The Land Registry will then decide how the land should be registered legally.
Once registered, HM Land Registry provides homeowners with a land title that is backed by the government. In addition, the Land Registrywill keep a historical reference of individual property ownership, updating details each time the property is exchanged. This includes any changes to mortgages and leases. Homeowners can also do a Land Registry search to discover historical property ownership details of any home in England or Wales.
