Housing: Foreign Nationals (11 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information her Department holds on the number and proportion of residential properties that were bought by non-UK nationals in each of the last 20 years.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain)

Answer

HM Land Registry (HMLR) registers legal ownership, interests and mortgages against land and property in England and Wales. The Register of Title held by HMLR does not record the nationality of individuals who own land or property.

HMLR publishes a dataset about non-UK companies or corporate bodies that own land in England and Wales. This is publicly available via GOV.UK here.
