Background Since 1862 HMLR has provided trust and confidence to owners and buyers in the property market of England and Wales by safeguarding and guaranteeing ownership and interests in land and property through our expertise in compiling and maintaining an accurate record of who owns what. The Land Register of England and Wales contains more than 25 million titles covering more than 86% of the land mass and is estimated to hold £4 trillion of property value and more than £1 trillion of mortgages. Critically we also provide property information that influences the decisions of property buyers, sellers and legal and financial institutions. Citizens, businesses, solicitors and conveyancers come to us on behalf of their clients to search our records to find out as much as possible about the property before transacting.
