Welcome to Land Registry’s 10-year strategic plan Our mission is to provide the world’s best service for guaranteeing ownership of land and facilitating property transactions. This 10 year strategic plan describes how we will accomplish our mission. The plan maps out the work that Land Registry will be completing up until 2017. We have set ourselves five challenging strategic objectives to complete over the next ten years and these are set out below. - Continue to make improvements to the delivery of services to all stakeholders
- Deliver timely and effective secondary legislation in relation to land registration
- Create a comprehensive land register for England and Wales
- Introduce an electronic conveyancing system through which most property transactions will be effected
- Develop a broader range of services for property professionals, the public and others
We plan to address strategic objectives 1 and 2 by continually improving our services and ensuring that our legislation is up to date and meets the needs of our stakeholders. Our intention is to achieve strategic objective 3 within the next decade by committing each year to register a challenging target of additional hectares for the first time. Strategict objectives 4 and 5 will be achieved progressively through the year-on-year introduction of new services and service delivery systems. This is a tough agenda. But we will deliver it because we are passionate about making property transactions easier for all. That is our vision. With the world’s largest property database of over 21 million titles, Land Registry underpins the economy by guaranteeing ownership of many billions of pounds worth of property. Around £1million worth of property is processed every minute in England and Wales. We now want Land Registry to be at the heart of the most efficient property market in the world. A property market to which Land Registry brings transparency, helping buyers and sellers with what is probably the most important transaction they will ever make. A property market in which they have confidence because they know what is going on. We hope you will share our vision – and that you will enjoy seeing us make a difference. “Making property transactions easier for all” Peter Collis
