Improving Land Registers NI
Background
LPS is implementing an online digital solution for the maintenance of the Land Registry Register, the Registry of Deeds Register, the Ground Rents Register and the Statutory Charges Register.
Transformation is underway
LPS is committed to offering excellent support to our customers. We are undertaking a transformation programme to respond to evolving public expectations, rapid technological advances, and the need for more efficient, streamlined services for our customers.
As part of this, our Land Registration Implementation Project is now underway. Over the next several years, Land Registration will phase in the replacement of the LandWeb system with a new application. The new application will offer digital services and electronic payment methods.
Our timeline
Working with our delivery partners, we are designing and delivering our custom-built digital platform. This will replace the existing LandWeb system over a series of phased rollouts beginning in the next calendar year. Further updates on the timeline for the launch of new functionality will be provided on this page in due course.
You can find out more about our new system at Features of the new land registration solution.
Engaging with you
Land Registration is focused on the people who use our services. Listening to feedback and using customer insight in service design helps us build trust, improve outcomes, and ensure what we deliver is relevant, accessible and impactful.
Conveyancing solicitors and their staff, law searchers, financial institutions, and government bodies are among the key stakeholders that will be impacted by the transformation of land registration services in Northern Ireland.
Land Registration hosted information sessions from October to December 2025 to introduce our project to the legal profession. We met with over 200 solicitors across Newry, Ballymena, Enniskillen, Derry/ Londonderry, Belfast, Cookstown and Portadown and engaged with another 74 legal professionals during a virtual wrap-up session.
Our next virtual event on 23 April 2026 will update local government officers on what our new solution will mean for them. For more information and to sign up, follow the link below.
