In brief
Almost 60% of land in England and Wales is now registered on the national land database—up from 48% two years ago, according to Land Registry’s Annual Report and Accounts 2006–07. Land Registry says it exceeded its annual registration target and is on course to achieve its aim of a comprehensive land register. More than 700,000 hectares have been registered in the past year. Chief land registrar and chief executive Peter Collis says it was a “major accomplishment” which had largely been achieved by explaining the benefits of voluntary registration to larger landowners.
