‘An important coming together of key industry partners under a shared vision at a pivotal time for the property market.’
The Land Registry of the United Kingdom has recently made an unusual announcement, establishing a steering group to help create a digital property market. The group is made up of representatives from the government, industry, and academia, and is tasked with finding ways to make the property market more efficient and secure.
The Land Registry is the government agency responsible for registering ownership of land and property in England and Wales. It is also responsible for maintaining records of land and property transactions. The new steering group will be tasked with finding ways to use digital technology to make the process of buying and selling property more efficient and secure.
The group will be chaired by the Chief Executive of the Land Registry, Graham Farrant. He said that the group will focus on “developing a digital property market that is secure, efficient, and accessible to all.” He added that the group will look at ways to make it easier for people to buy and sell property online, as well as how to protect people’s data when they do so.
The group will also look at how to make sure that the Land Registry’s records are accurate and up-to-date. This is important because if the records are not accurate, it can lead to disputes over ownership of property. The group will also consider how to make sure that people who buy and sell property online are protected from fraud.
The Land Registry’s announcement has been welcomed by the industry, with many seeing it as a positive step towards making the property market more efficient and secure. It is hoped that the group’s work will help to make the process of buying and selling property easier and more secure for everyone involved.
