His Majesty's Land Registry is a non-ministerial department of His Majesty's Government, created in 1862 to register the ownership of land and property in England and Wales.[3] It reports to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.[4]
HM Land Registry is internally independent and receives no government funding; it charges fees for applications lodged by customers. The current Chief Land Registrar (and CEO) is Simon Hayes.[5]
The equivalent office in Scotland is the Registers of Scotland. Land and Property Services maintain records for Northern Ireland.
