Land Registry Applications Completed by County, 2020-2021

Applications for property registration in the 2020-2021 financial year are counted by county, with a distinctive feature being that single applications spanning multiple counties are counted in each relevant county. This dataset likely contains counts of completed registration applications, providing a measure of land registry workload and property transaction activity. Its cross-platform presence on UK and EU open data portals signals its importance as an official administrative record.

Use Cases

• [Analyzing regional property transaction volumes] based on [county-level application counts]
• [Benchmarking land registry office performance] based on [completed application data]
• [Mapping administrative workload distribution] based on [geographic county boundaries]
• [Tracking annual property registration trends] based on [financial year 2020-2021 time range]

Strengths

• [Data is released under a permissive open license (OGL-UK-3.0)], facilitating reuse.
• [The dataset covers a specific and recent financial year (2020-2021)], providing a temporal snapshot.
• [Its presence on multiple official open data platforms (OpenDataNI, EU portal)] indicates it is a recognized government dataset.

Limitations

• [Column names and a precise row count are unknown], limiting understanding of the data's granularity and structure.
• [The metadata for size, rows, and author is incomplete or missing across all sources], indicating sparse documentation.
• [The 'last updated' date of 2026-07-08 appears to be a future date or a system artifact, conflicting with the 2020-2021 data period].
