HM Treasury has announced the creation of £26 million fund to encourage councils in England and Wales to transfer local land charges data to HM Land Registry’s LLC Register.
Land Registry said that transition payments will be made available for local authorities that transfer the data within an agreed timescale.
In addition, they will continue to receive existing burdens payments – covering any burden that increases the cost of providing a service – which takes the overall financial support available to more than £40 million.
Land Registry said the new payments will be made when a council meets scheduled milestones, which should provide it with more financial certainty that it can meet the costs.
