What is Land Registry and what does it do, exactly?
Every five years, we publish a framework document which answers those questions in detail. The document is a statement of Land Registrys legal position and reflects its status as a non-ministerial government department. It also sets out the roles and responsibilities of those involved in running it. The new framework for 2008 has just been published, and is available on this website. To help accessibility, the document is viewable as an HTML page or is downloadable as a PDF.
