Important Changes Affecting Land Registry Offices

From today, Land Registry customers will no longer be able to lodge applications or visit the Customer Information Centres at its Land Registry Harrow and York offices.

The offices are due to close in 2010 as part of a planned programme to reduce office space. The first stage in this process is the transfer to other Land Registry offices of the administrative areas for which Harrow and York are responsible.

As a result of the Land Registration (Proper Office) Order 2007, which comes into force today, the new proper offices replacing Harrow for applications affecting land are Croydon, Stevenage and Swansea. The offices replacing York are Kingston upon Hull and Durham.

Also from today, the Durham (Boldon) and Durham (Southfield) offices will merge to create a single proper office to be known as Land Registry, Durham Office. However the existing Southfield House and Boldon House addresses will be retained for the delivery of applications. The Customer Information Centre for the merged office will be at Southfield House.
