Looks at the Land Registry's campaign to get all England and Wales property registered by 2012 as sought by government to support their e-conveyancing initiative to be piloted by the Registry in 2007. Currently less than half the total acreage is registered. Much of the unregistered land belongs to government departments and agencies and much belongs to country landowners who have shown little interest in complying with the Registry's wishes. So much property remains unregistered because it has neither been sold nor a mortgage raised against it since the first Land Registry in 1925. The Land Registry estimates that 18m of all property titles have been registered with 3m outstanding. Compulsory registration has been ruled out for the time being. Gives examples of voluntary registration such as the archdiocese of Liverpool and of digitisation of title deeds and maps by South Tyneside Council, facilitating its registration process.
