Contact route and mapping progress are separate things. A contact route status describes how the address or form was checked; mapping progress describes how far this project's own request to the organisation has got. Always confirm the route on the organisation's official website before sending a request.
What you may be able to request
Some information categories are based on the authority's published responsibilities and may not yet have been confirmed through an FOI response.
Likely areas of responsibility — not yet confirmed by Public Audit.
- Spending and contracts
- Board or committee minutes
- Policies and internal guidance
- Staffing and organisational structure
- Complaints and performance figures
These are cautious suggestions based on what organisations of this kind usually do. They are not a statement that this organisation holds these records.
Inside HM Land Registry
Mapping the people, departments, data and systems behind one of Britain’s most important public registers.
PublicAudit.uk is mapping the information architecture behind HM Land Registry — not requesting people’s personal records, but identifying what systems exist, what they are used for, who is responsible for them and what information is electronically searchable.

What information assets and searchable systems sit underneath this structure?
🟠 FOI PENDING
Investigation
Counter Fraud Group
The published organisational information says the Counter Fraud Group provides counter-fraud advice to caseworkers, fraud contacts and lawyers, and helps protect the register from fraud.
Questions PublicAudit.uk is asking
- What systems support this function?
- What information assets are maintained?
- What fraud-related information is recorded?
- What information is electronically searchable?
- Which business area owns each system?
- What external information interfaces exist?
We are not seeking personal records, details of individual cases or information that would compromise fraud prevention. The objective is to understand the information architecture.

The FOI
What we asked, and what came back
24 July 2026
Information Map request submitted
Requested:
- organisational structure
- information assets
- databases
- registers
- case-management systems
- document-management systems
- searchable electronic records
- information repositories
- other searchable operational systems
For each system we asked for:
- NAME
- PURPOSE
- RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS AREA
- ELECTRONICALLY SEARCHABLE?
- CAN AUTHORISED STAFF SEARCH IT?
HM Land Registry response
HM Land Registry confirmed that its organisational chart is already publicly available.
✅ Q1 — ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE IDENTIFIED
HM Land Registry then asked whether the systems request should cover:
All internal systems
Systems required for HMLR casework
Request now narrowed to this branch
The request has now been narrowed to operational and statutory systems and information assets.
Current request scope
Areas now being pursued
- Land Registration
- Applications
- Titles
- Ownership
- Property
- Casework
- Searches
- Documents
- Correspondence
- Registration Decisions
- Registers
For each identified system we ultimately want five fields: system, purpose, responsible area, electronically searchable, and staff search capability. Until HM Land Registry answers, each unknown field reads AWAITING FOI RESPONSE. We never guess.

Why this matters
Government publishes outputs.
- Registers.
- Statistics.
- Reports.
- Decisions.
- FOI responses.
PublicAudit.uk is trying to map what sits behind those outputs.
- Departments
- People
- Systems
- Databases
- Information Assets
- Search Capabilities
- Reports & Decisions
You cannot properly understand a modern public authority without understanding its information architecture.
We know how HM Land Registry is organised. Now we’re mapping the information systems underneath it.
