Land Registry eConveyancing Programme
From SR
Contents |
Purpose
The e-conveyancing programme has been designed to provide a framework to enable the whole legal process from handshake to completion, with registration being performed electronically.
Background
When property professionals buy, sell or apply for registration of property transactions in England and Wales, e-conveyancing will make it possible for them to deal electronically with each other and with Land Registry.
Future
Land Registry is leading the development of e-conveyancing, and its component services are being introducing in stages. By 2010, transfer of land ownership, removal of old mortgages from the register, and registration of new mortgages will all be possible over the internet.
This will make buying property in England and Wales quicker and more certain. Every buyer, seller, and property professional will benefit.
Document
The e-conveyancing strategy document, published on 17 September 2003, sets out the vision, scope, structure and management of the e-conveyancing programme.
