OUR STORY
The regulator of Official NLIS Conveyancing Searches
Land Data was set up in 2001 to regulate and run (under licence) the newly-created National Land Information Service (NLIS), a hub providing a single point of access to official sources of land and property information from every Local Authority in England and Wales, HM Land Registry and the Mining Remediation Authority.
A cross-Government initiative, NLIS was launched by HM Land Registry, the Improvement & Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA, now part of the Local Government Association), Ordnance Survey, Valuations Office Agency, DEFRA and the Cabinet Office central IT unit. Its goal was and is to make property information accessible to everyone.
