Consistent messages

A small article in today's Western Mail catches my eye. It records that officials from the Land Registry will be guests of the Farmers' Union of Wales at this month's World Sheepdog Trials at Llandeilo from September 11th to 14th.

As a former employee of the Land Registry I am naturally curious and look for the press release on their site. Alas, it is not yet posted but there are a whole series of similar press releases announcing the Land Registry's presence at a number of similar agricultural meetings around the country. The striking thing about all of these press releases is how consistent they are in getting the message across.

On a release dated 29 August headed 'Derwentshire Landowners top 20,000 hectares mark', Harry Charlton, Register Development Manager for the North East, comments "State-backed registration gives landowners greater security of title, providing them with better protection against claims of adverse possession. Landowners also know the administration of their land holding is in good order with key information in one place and easy to access.".

On 6th August, Brian Mahan, of the Essex Register Development Team at Land Registry tells his local media in Brentwood that "State-backed registration gives landowners greater security of title, providing them with better protection against claims of adverse possession. Landowners also know the administration of their land holding is in good order with key information in one place and easy to access."

Whilst on 4th August Martin Kirkby, Register Development Manager for the Minsterley area tells his media that "State-backed registration gives landowners greater security of title, providing them with better protection against claims of adverse possession. Landowners also know the administration of their land holding is in good order with key information in one place and easy to access."

And so it goes on. The one thing we can be sure about is that the Land Registry is out there and selling its product.

More than just selling it's product...

Could this be used to see what developers intentions are regarding our urban as well as country environments?
 
No you need to follow planning applications for that. You can search Land Registry on-line to find out who owns a particular piece of land if it is registered, its extent, any restrictions that apply, any rights the owner may have and any charges that apply.
