The Land Registry the government department responsible for land registration in England and Wales has published its Annual Report and Accounts for 2008/9  today ( 18th August) . The full report is available online at www.landregistry.gov.uk  Commenting on the report, Peter Collis, Chief Land Registrar and Chief executive said:  "While it has probably been one of the most difficult periods in our 147 year history, we are looking forward to implementing new plans which will see Land Registry emerge as an even more customer-focused organisation. The current property slump led to a challenging financial year, which has seen our core business collapse by up to 75 per cent in volume".

The Tenant Farmers Association is pleased to announce that it has expanded its head office advisory team to meet the growing demand for advice from TFA members.
