The Land Registry

The Land Registry is a government authority responsible for recording and maintaining details about land and property ownership in England and Wales. It keeps an official register that shows who owns each property, any rights or restrictions affecting it, and information about mortgages or financial interests. This register provides clarity and security for property transactions, helping buyers, sellers, and lenders verify ownership and rights. The Land Registry's records are used to ensure transparency and reduce disputes in property dealings, making the process more efficient and trustworthy.
