Housing: Foreign Nationals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information her Department holds on the number and proportion of residential properties that were bought by non-UK nationals in each of the last 20 years.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
HM Land Registry (HMLR) registers legal ownership, interests and mortgages against land and property in England and Wales. The Register of Title held by HMLR does not record the nationality of individuals who own land or property.
HMLR publishes a dataset about non-UK companies or corporate bodies that own land in England and Wales. This is publicly available via GOV.UK here.
