21. Customer Comments
Deena Wood, Data Project Co-Ordinator, National Grid:
“Very satisfied, such that I feel that I wouldn’t be able to do without it. It
saves a lot of time.”
Jackie Wilkie, Grantor Relations Officer (Payments), National Grid:
“Previously I found that a number of my Land Registry searches were
rejected. Using this new service allows me to easily pinpoint the area of
land required.”
It’s amazingly easy to use, it took less
than 20 seconds to figure it out
It has been extremely helpful in assisting
me with my work and has cut down the
time it takes to find a title numberIt is so much more efficient than the
Index Map Search
