Business e-services
Business e-services is a range of online services that support the conveyancing process. Customers use Business e-services to request information from the Land Register, lodge applications and discharge mortgages online. They can be accessed through two online channels, the portal and Business Gateway.
Benefits
There are significant benefits for customers who use one of our electronic channels rather than the traditional paper-based application route, such as:
- improved speed, certainty and accuracy of applications
- reduced postal costs
- savings in time, money and resources
- reduced environmental impact
- an electronic audit trail that helps to prevent fraud.
Available services
Business e-services are divided into three groups. The use of each group of services is governed by a separate agreement.
- Information Services
Request information from the Land Register over the internet. For example, you can request searches of the index map, official copies of documents, registers and/or title plans; make day list enquiries, and lodge protecting searches of whole or part of a title. Find out more. - Network Services
Lodge certain applications to change the register over the internet. For example, you can change proprietors’ names due to marriage and remove the name of a deceased joint proprietor from the register. Find out more. - Lender Services
Mortgage lenders can discharge their mortgages over the internet. Find out more.
Using Business e-services
Before use, you must apply for, and be granted access to each group of Business e-services that you would like to use. Business e-services is accessed through our free online channels: the portal and Business Gateway. The services available for each channel differ. Customers pay for the Business e-services applications they make by Variable Direct Debit (VDD).
