National Land Registration System (UK)

The National Land Registration System in the UK is a government-managed system that records who owns land and property. Its main purpose is to provide a clear and publicly accessible record of land ownership, which helps to protect property rights and prevent disputes. When someone buys a property, it is registered with the Land Registry, ensuring the buyer's ownership is legally recognized. This system also makes it easier to obtain mortgages and deals with property. Overall, it enhances transparency and security in property transactions across England and Wales.
