to provide one, but it does not hold telephone numbers.</p><p>For a prescribed fee,
a copy of the register entries that relate to an individual registered property can
be obtained. HM Land Registry does not offer free and open access to the data they
hold about property ownership. It publishes its commitment to citizens’ privacy rights
in a Personal Information Charter, which can be found here:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/land-registry/about/personal-information-charter#your-legal-rights</p><p>The
