General public has a very different perspective when it comes to the work of the registry. They need a small amount of data and services that it offers, which leads to this kind of misconception. Admittedly, it is not a trivial effort to understand the goal of data entry and how it can actually change the world we live in. Try to approach the vast amount of data as something that looks like our towns. Few years ago, this would have been easier, because we still worked with paper and physical plans, but that is largely gone in these days of digitalization.
Key Takeaways:
- Today the UK’s HM Land Registry covers 85% of England and Wales with more than 20 million separate titles.
- The land covered by those titles is carefully mapped and is equal to roughly 48000 square miles.
- Were one to rifle through the records of the HM Land Registry, one would likely uncover records equaling as much as 4 trillion pounds in currency.
