Save The Land Registry Campaign
Rejected

What the petition asks
Last year the proposed plans for the Land Registry were scrapped after a high-profile national campaign involving all the key stakeholders; the PCS union, Property Search Agents, Conveyancers, High Street law firms and Members of the Public worked collaboratively to oppose the plans.
Of course, it was only a matter of time
Sure as eggs…. the government has asked investment bank Rothschild to look at the options for a £1bn plus sale and wrote in the Autumn Statement of its intention to ‘consult on options to move operations of the Land Registry to the private sector from 2017.
An important role of the Land Registry is to underpin the ownership of the property YOU own, providing YOU with a state backed guarantee to title.
