The last 2 paragraphs about the transfer of the Local Land Charges Register from Local Authorities to HMLR are inaccurate. HMLR now has a target of the end of 2019 to complete the transfer of 'up to' 26 local authority registers in Phase 1 of the project. 5 have been completed but there is no scheduled transfer date for any other LA's and HMLR has so far named named only 21 of the up to 26 Local Authorities in Phase 1.

The last time they tried to privatise the Land Registry a petition with over 110,000 signatures helped change their minds. A new petition has been launched to help combat this latest threat.

Few people are mentioning the one line announcement on page 74 of the Autumn statement about Mr. Osborne's plan to try once again to privatise the Land Registry. The Land Registry registers the ownership of land and property in England and Wales. Then once land or property is registered the Land Registry records any ownership changes, mortgages or leases that affect it. They provide owners with a land title that is underpinned by the state. The Land Registry pays millions into the Treasury each year and costs the tax payer nothing. Do we want to hand that responsibility over to a private sector company to make money for them and their shareholders and possibly cost home buyers dearly? The Government tried to privatise the land Registry 18 months ago and an 110,000 signature petition helped the campaign to get it stopped. Another petition was started yesterday at https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/save-land-reg and it has already collected over 2,000 signatures.
