HM Land Registry wants to make its services so fast that by 2030 conveyancers will be directed to the right person first-time round to deal with their query and by 2035 simple changes to the register will be done pretty much instantly.

Publishing its latest strategy, Strategy 2025+, Digital Services, expertise and accessible property information that unlock a better, faster and less stressful market, the agency said the property system in England and Wales was ‘still too slow’, complicated, lacks modern digital experiences and often fails. ‘A digital property market would help fix this,’ it concluded.
