About DIY Land Registry

DIY Land Registry is an independent information website created to help members of the public understand common HM Land Registry processes.

The site is intended to explain forms, procedures, identity requirements, fees and common issues in clear language, and to provide practical self-help tools where appropriate.

DIY Land Registry is not HM Land Registry and is not affiliated with HM Land Registry.

What the site does

We provide general educational information and tools. We do not act for users in conveyancing transactions and we do not make Land Registry applications on their behalf.

When to obtain professional advice

Property transactions can have significant legal and tax consequences. Mortgages, trusts, restrictions, leasehold provisions, powers of attorney, disputed ownership and unusual title entries may require specialist advice.
