About HM Land Registry

We protect land ownership and provide services and data that underpin an efficient and informed property market.

For 160 years HM Land Registry has served as the critical institution protecting the right to property and enabling the market to operate. By keeping the definitive and guaranteed record of property ownership for around 88% of the land area of England and Wales, we allow property to be transacted securely and with confidence.

Millions of people and businesses rely on HM Land Registry every year for guaranteed information on property ownership and other elements affecting land use, such as planning conditions and listed building status.

HM Land Registry employs over 6,000 people across England and Wales who support our vision of a world leading property market as part of a thriving economy and a sustainable future. Roles within HM Land Registry are incredibly varied, and you could find an opportunity for you in frontline operations, customer support, legal advisories, finance, human resources, digital and technology, register integrity, and project management – to name but a few! So, whatever your skills, background, and experience is, we have a role for you with us.

Our people are at the heart of our plans to transform HM Land Registry. Our cultural aspirations are grounded in our People Strategy and have been developed through workshops and focus groups with our staff. The culture we aspire to:
• promotes a strong connection to our organisation and its values;
• is inclusive and builds trust with one another; and
• empowers our people to take responsibility and to innovate.

We created four value statements that describe what we expect our culture to look like. They are:
• We give assurance.
• We have integrity.
• We are professional.
• We drive innovation.

Our colleagues define our culture every day through their actions and behaviours – so if these statements describe you and your drivers, look for our current vacancies on Civil Service Jobs.
