Service: Buying and selling property

Responsible organisation: HM Land Registry (HMLR) (Central-Government)

HM Land Registry (HMLR) has successfully completed a trial that used a prototype developed with bockchain to buy property. The trial, which involved the sale of a semi-detached house in Gillingham, Kent, was intended to show how buying and selling a home could be made simpler and quicker by demonstrating a digital transfer of ownership. The Proof of Concept was part of a research and development project known as Digital Street.
