>The initiative is part of the department’s ‘Digital Street’ program. This is the second phase of its blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) research and development program, so the focus is on Proofs of Concept.
>HMLR processes 1.8 million applications per month. The organization has a vision “to become the world’s leading land registry for speed, simplicity and an open approach to data.”
>The work will impact all participants in the land registration process. In addition to the buyer and seller, it includes lawyers, conveyancers and mortgage providers.
