Evolving Registration - How Do Established Registrars Embrace Change

Dave STOW, Michael HILL et al

A Land Register should evolve to meet the changing social and policy needs of citizens, government and business. Evolution is about constant change. When there is a significant mismatch between the register and need then reform is required. Reform affects more than just legislation; reform disrupts policy, practice, networks and people. Effective reform is sensitive to this disruption and implements change across the social fabric.
Whilst it is expected that the legislative framework evolves to reflect need, the same can not always be said for the supporting Land Registration infrastructure: especially the IT infrastructure. In some respects change is avoided - systems are replaced in big upgrade cycles of ten, fifteen or twenty years. The driver for these upgrades can be simply obsolescence of technology, but frequently the change is connected to a business driver triggered by legal change or by aspiration to offer more, and typically more “digital” services to the customers of the land authority.
