Information on the terms between HM Land Registry (HMLR) and local authorities (LAs).
What is it
Terms of Collaboration (ToC) is an agreement between HM Land Registry (HMLR) and a local authority (LA). It authorises HMLR to receive data from the LA and begin data assessment activities.
Under the agreement, the LA makes its Local Land Charge (LLC) data available to HMLR. This includes both the textual and spatial elements to:
- analyse where authority data is not suitable for migration
- identify areas needing work before to migration
- identify areas of data enhancement during migration by applying HLMR business rules
When it is signed
We issue the ToC during early engagement with the LA. They must complete it before sharing the data with HMLR.
What happens next
The LA’s complete dataset of LLC records goes to HMLR to go through the Data Analysis Dashboard (DAD). This includes both the textual and spatial elements
The ToC is valid for 12 months (with option to extend).
The DAD allows early insight into the LA’s data and improvement work. This needs to meet the required standard for inclusion on the digital register.
On completion, the LA can progress through Early Engagement and into service migration.
