Data on land and property owned by overseas companies (E, W)
Data relating to around 100,000 title records of freehold and leasehold property registered in England and Wales to companies incorporated outside the UK is now available free of charge from HM Land Registry, alongside data relating to more than 3 million title records of property registered to UK companies.
Described as ‘an important milestone’ in HM Land Registry’s drive to become “the world’s leading land registry for speed, simplicity and an open approach to data”, the removal of financial barriers to accessing two significant datasets provides access to all ownership categories bar private individuals, charities and trusts.
To safeguard against fraud and misuse, potential users have to register to get access and the datasets are released under licence.
‘HM Land Registry: Overseas Companies Ownership Data’ and ‘HM Land Registry: Commercial and Corporate Ownership Data’ both provide data on the following 12 categories
- title number
- tenure (freehold/leasehold)
- land or property address
- price paid (where available)
- administrative area (local authority area)
- company name (legal owner/s)
- company registration number (where available)
- type of company (legal entity)
- company address/es)
- date the ownership was registered at HM Land Registry
- additional proprietor indicator (indicates if there are other proprietors in the register which are not overseas companies)
- multiple address indicator (indicates where there is more than one property address in the register)
The Overseas Companies Ownership dataset has the additional category
- country/territory of incorporation (data captured from 1999 onwards)
