The PCS Alternative Vision for HM Land Registry (supported by TLIO) makes the case that “the land register — currently covering around 80 per cent of the land in England and Wales — must be completed to create a quasi Domesday Book for the 21st century.” TLIO also asserts that the Land Registry should be openly accessible and freely available to all.
