National Land Information Service - How to submit a search

The National Land Information Service (NLIS) is a government initiative aimed at delivering services electronically, with the ultimate aim of speeding up the conveyancing process by using electronic transactions. The service connects law firms, conveyancers and data providers such as HM Land Registry and local authority Local Land Charges Registers.

At North Wiltshire we have been connected to NLIS at level 2 since October 2002. Currently we are able to receive search applications and fees electronically, and send the results by DX or first class post. We aim to be able to return the results electronically by 2005.

We encourage the users of our service to become NLIS users.
