Working in Digital

We protect land ownership and provide services and data that underpin an efficient and informed property market. Strategy 2022+ sets out our ambition to provide outstanding, fully digital services for all our customers. Our award-winning technology team is the in-house directorate at the heart of our transformation into a digital, data-driven organisation. 

We are playing a pivotal role in ensuring that we can respond swiftly to our current challenges. We are providing a robust and resilient technical infrastructure to support our workforce. We are enabling our customers to interact with us in increasingly digital and automated ways, and delivering our transformation portfolio which will revolutionise the way that we operate and provide services. 

Our Digital teams are at the core of our plans for digital transformation for the future. At HM Land Registry we have a vision of a fully connected digital system for buying and selling property that enables a more secure and more efficient land registration process. Our Digital colleagues are at the forefront of this innovation. 

By joining us in a digital role, you can be at the cutting edge of our work to revolutionise the way property and land is transacted in the UK, supporting our vision of a world-leading property market as part of a thriving economy and a sustainable future.

At HM Land Registry, we’re passionate about developing and attracting the best talent. People are at the heart of our plans for the future, so we have established a ’community of practice’ for every profession within our directorate. We now have 15 communities in total, including software development, data science, and product management.  

These communities are groups of talented people performing similar roles who, through regular meetups and online forums, both within HM Land Registry and across wider Government, share best practice, discuss challenges, and support each other – which means happier, more motivated people!
