www.yourbritain.org.uk/uploads/editor/files/TheLyonsHousingReview2.pdf - "The Land Registry records the ownership of land and property and has registered 82% of the land in England and Wales with more than 23.5 million titles. However, as evidence to the review highlighted, there is limited public access to this information and no requirement to register land options."
"Greater transparency about ownership, options and transactions would deliver a number of important benefits that would result in better operation of the land market. "
