The Land Registry has launched its new free-to-use digital MapSearch service, containing all registered land and property in England and Wales.
It says MapSearch allows users to establish whether land and property is registered and obtain further information such as the unique reference number that Land Registry assigns to each property. Until now, the information was often obtained through a Search of the Index Map' application which involved manual investigations and a fee for applicants.
Throughout the past two weeks some 12,000 users, including estate agents, lawyers and surveyors have tested the beta' version of the service.
In the past two years the Registry has digitised numerous services, including the Document Registrations Service which enables users to lodge applications electronically, rather than through the post. Over 2,000 customers now use e-DRS, and have submitted nearly half a million applications electronically.
Earlier this week the Registry reduced its fees for some applications lodged electronically.
