The framework document is a statement of Land Registry’s legal position and reflects its status as a non-ministerial government department.
The massive task of computerising almost 18 million titles was completed in 2002 and all registered titles are now fully computerised. This has enabled us to improve even further our service to customers. Access to the register by telephone and fax is available to our account customers.
Our Land Register Online website enables members of the public to download copies of title information for a small fee, payable by credit or debit card.
In addition, we are now offering on-line access to the register through Land Registry Direct.

Land Registry has prepared a Welsh Language Scheme which provides that, in the conduct of its public business in Wales, Land Registry will treat the English and Welsh languages equally.
At Land Registry we are committed to ensuring that valuing the diversity of our staff and of our customers, and providing equality of opportunity, are integral to all we do.
