Land Registry has introduced a secure website platform from which to launch all existing and future electronic services. This platform is called the Land Registry portal. The portal is a common interface which provides a personalized, single point of access to web-based applications and information.
Our current e-services include Information Services and Network Services. Information Services are made up of official copies, searches and enquiries and include Land Charge searches, Network Services are for the creation and lodgement of electronic documents. For further details consult the portal guidance notes.
Our pages at Land Registry Direct provide property professionals with instant access to more than 22 million registers of title covering the great majority of properties in England and Wales. Customers can get results online for Searches of Whole with Priority and Land Charges Searches (Private Individuals and Limited Companies) and currently make simple non-dispositionary applications.
Our pages at Find a Property provide easy public access to details of more than 22 million registered properties in England and Wales. You can search by postcode, address, or visually using maps and aerial photos, and download PDF copies of title registers, title plans and some other documents, for a small charge.
Electronic Discharge (e-DS1) is an alternative method of electronic discharge, available for lenders who chose not to join the EDs service. It needs no supporting application or paperwork: it constitutes an application in itself and automatically removes the charge from the register.
Electronic Discharges (EDs) is a machine-to-machine service that enables very high volume lenders to remove legal charges from the land register. Following redemption of a legal charge affecting registered land, a lender's computer updates the Land Register automatically. Once validated electronically, the charge and any associated entries are cancelled. Many large lenders are now using this service, which was introduced in 2003.
Electronic Notification of Discharge (END)
- this service involves a lender sending an electronic message to Land Registry to confirm that a charge has been discharged.This service is now closed to new users as it is only available through Land Registry Direct and users are being migrated away from that service to the new portal over the next few months. However, ENDs are still being received during the migration process.
