Positional Improvement of Land
Registry and Statutory Charges
Mapping
Introduction
The Registrar of Titles for Northern Ireland is responsible for creating and
maintaining information relating to title to land in Northern Ireland. This
incorporates the Land Registry, the Registry of Deeds and the Statutory
Charges Register.
The Land Registry is a successor to the Registration scheme introduced to
Ireland in 1891 under the Local Registration of Title (Ireland) Act 1891. The
1891 scheme was replaced in NI by the Land Registration Act (NI) 1970.
Section 62 (1) of the act provides that
“There shall be maintained by or on behalf of the Registrar a series of
maps based on Ordnance maps”
Since 2011 the LPS Mapping & Valuation Directorate has been
updating and positionally improving the LPS OSNI mapping in line
with Global Positioning Satellite technology under the LPS/DARD LPIS

Benefit for Northern Ireland PLC
‘…secure property rights are positively correlated with
a country’s level of investment and economic
growth.’ (Besley, Knack & Keefer)
‘…secure and well defined property rights transform
assets into resources that can be used to generate
additional capital and obtain credit.’ (De Soto) ’
Benefit for Northern Ireland PLC
De Soto goes on to suggest that
‘…in USA approximately 70% of new business credit
comes from using titles to other assets as collateral.’
The CML have suggested that
‘…£400m per annum is generated in property
conveyencing.’
