Understanding Corporate Property Ownership

Corporate property ownership data comes from the Land Registry's Commercial and Corporate Ownership Dataset (CCOD), covering all registered titles in England and Wales held by UK companies. This includes offices, warehouses, retail units, and land.

Housing associations, property developers, and utility companies typically hold the largest portfolios. Many large companies own property through subsidiary SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles), so individual title counts may understate a group's true portfolio.

This data is updated monthly and cross-referenced with Companies House records to link property ownership to active company registrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does property ownership data come from?

Land Registry's Commercial and Corporate Ownership Dataset (CCOD) covers all registered property titles in England and Wales held by UK-incorporated companies.

Why are housing associations at the top?

Housing associations and property developers hold thousands of individual title registrations. Each property unit is a separate title, so portfolios of flats and houses generate very high title counts.

Does this include Scotland and Northern Ireland?

No. Land Registry covers England and Wales only. Scottish property is registered with Registers of Scotland, and Northern Irish property with Land & Property Services.
