Land slide

While we may be forgiven a wry smile or even raise a cheer at the present demise of the Homes Bill, perhaps next time round some further thought might be given to funding the staffing of the telephone lines for searching at HM Land Registry/HM Land Charges Department.Only try it yourself if you have great patience, and be prepared to be disappointed.
