UK companies that own property in England and Wales
The dataset
The data shows registered land and property in England and Wales owned by UK companies or corporate bodies.
The data does not show land or property owned by:
- private individuals
- overseas companies
- charities
We cannot show records that are being updated. For example, an overseas company buys a property and tells us about it on 20 June 2019. We finish updating the record on 12 July 2019. You will not be able to download this data until the dataset is next updated on the second day of August.
Data quality
Where the information comes from
We get information from:
- citizens
- corporate bodies
- conveyancers
- deeds
- other documents
Inconsistencies in the data
The data comes from different sources. This means that not everything is written in the same way. For example, one address may say '24 The Willows' and another might be written as 'Field south of N14'.
You may also see:
- spelling errors or typos
- descriptions instead of addresses (land being developed may not have an address)
- partial postcodes or no postcodes at all
- mistakes in company registration numbers
- no data for date of registration
- 2 different companies with the same registration number
Inconsistencies happen because of human error or because we do not have the data. For example, companies who bought property before 1996 did not need to tell us their registration number.
