National Land Information Service

National Land Information Service (NLIS)

NLIS is a government initiative which carries the sole mandate of providing electronic official land and property information held by all Local Authorities in England and Wales, as well as other official sources of data, including HMLR, the Coal Authority and water companies.

The NLIS Hub acts as a gateway for conveyancers to access land and property information through one of the NLIS Licensed Channels. The NLIS Hub is regulated by Land Data.

Searches directly from NLIS are considered “official searches” because they are sourced directly from the official data provider and are part of a unique end-to-end contractual chain established and regulated by Land Data. This ensures that the statutory indemnities are preserved and transferred to users and the end customer. NLIS is the only government approved and regulated, electronic land and property searches portal in the market. NLIS offers speed and security, search results are returned through the network directly to the customer thus reducing risk and liability and at the same time protecting users, clients and data providers.
