HM Land Registry has pushed back the completion date of its Local Land Charges programme to the end of 2028, citing the complexity of transforming fragmented data while upholding the highest standards. “The integrity of the register must always take priority over the speed of migrations,” HMLR said.
The change to the programme completion dates doesn’t affect local authorities that have already transitioned to the live service. The local authorities that are directly affected by the revised timeline have been contacted and given guidance about the next steps, HMLR said.
“We and our partners have learned valuable lessons from the LAs that have successfully migrated,” HMRL said. “These insights are helping us refine our approach to ensure smoother migrations going forward.
“Our decision to delay the programme’s completion reflects our commitment to maintain the delivery of a high-quality, sustainable LLC Register, which meets user needs.
“It also ensures the integrity of data throughout the transformation process.”
HMLR said it remains committed to supporting all local authorities in live service and will continue to provide updates to them and the wider market as the programme progresses.

Didn’t Mike Harlow stand up at the first DPMSG conference and state it will be completed by the end of 2025??
They are still only 40% of the way through, this won’t be completed for another 10 years.
I remember going to the first meeting on this available to search companies and other stakeholders in 2008.
I’d love to know the cost so far….
