Land Registry Service Handler¶
Land Registry is a Government department which administers the registration of Land within England and Wales.
We need to obtain from the Land Registry the:-
Title¶
The title register usually includes: * The title number * Who owns the property * How much the property was last sold for * Whether the property has a mortgage * Details of any ‘restrictive covenants’ - promises to not do certain things with the land, like not building on a particular area * Details of any ‘easements’ - the rights of one piece of land over another, like a right of way
Title Plan¶
The title plan includes the property’s location and general boundaries.
Land Registry API¶
HM Land Registry - API Catalogue
Interface¶
The Land Registry interface is XML SOAP based API, and secured by root certificates.
Authentication¶
Authentication with the Land Registry is based on SSL Root Certificates. The certificate is supplied by the Land Registry in three parts the Root CA Certificate, Intermediary Cert, and Issuer public key. These three files need to be combined so you can generate a PFX string which can be stored in a Azure Key Vault.
Please See :- items 1,2 and 3 of the Development Activities for more information.
