    National and international services

    The National Land Information Service (NLIS) is a commercial service with three channels offering online searches and enquiries to solicitors and licensed conveyancers throughout England and Wales. The channels are competing in the marketplace and differentiate their services by packaging and presenting the information to suit their target audience.  Searches are electronically sent and results received via the NLIS hub, which acts as the gateway for information and services from a number of data providers.

    Land Registry has supported NLIS from its inception and we continue to be a major data provider, alongside other bodies such as local authorities and utility companies. NLIS provides a fee income in excess of £650,000 each month.

    Land Registry has continued to play a leading role in the development of the European Land Information Service (EULIS). The service's aim is to provide easy worldwide access to European electronic land and property information in order to promote and underpin a single European property market.

    We were among the first group of land registration authorities to go live with the service when it was officially launched in November 2006. The national land information services of England and Wales, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden are now linked together online through the EULIS portal. A further 10 countries are set to join.
