Mortgage Glossary: Land Registry

Land Registry

This is the government department responsible for maintaining and updating the register of all properties in England & Wales with registered titles. The head office is in London with district registries around the country.

A Land Registry certificate provides details of the property including a plan and, if the property is leasehold, a copy of the lease.

A Land Registry fee is payable to the Land Registry to register ownership of a property.

You can find H.M. Land Registry at:
