Property: Ownership
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring the Land Registry to (a) record and (b) publish a property owner's Company Registration Number on title register documents.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
HM Land Registry (HMLR) requires that the registration number of a company is supplied when a UK company is being registered. Company registration numbers are recorded in the proprietorship entry of the title register.
Copies of title registers are normally available from HMLR’s Search for land and property information page on gov.uk here.
HMLR publishes information about registered land and property in England and Wales owned by UK companies on gov.uk here.
