How it works

You supply a list of names and addresses on a spreadsheet (limit of 10,000 rows).
We compare your information against our database.
The results show whether we have traced the property on our database and whether your records match, do not match or partially match our ownership information.
We manually investigate results that do not match to improve matching rates.
We send you the results on a spreadsheet within five days*.
You can select an option to automatically receive official copies of the register in PDF format for records that do not match, or a further option to have certain register information set out on the resulting spreadsheet containing links to the Land Register.
