PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(20 May 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many titles on the Land Register were purchased by overseas people or entities in each month in the last five years; and what their total purchase price value was.

Asked by:
Alison Griffiths (Conservative)

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.
