The story so far with ‘View My Applications’
The new View My Applications (VMA) service on the HM Land Registry e-services portal makes it easier for customers to track the progress of applications and to better manage their work.
Previously, customers had to visit multiple locations within portal to manage their applications, correspondence and requisitions. VMA simplifies this by providing a single location for portal users to see details of all applications lodged through portal our most popular customer channel which handles around three quarters of all HM Land Registry (HMLR) applications every day.

Over a third of all HMLR business customers have used VMA since it was introduced (and over 70% of the service’s target audience – users lodging substantive applications). We have received high levels of positive feedback from customers who have described VMA as ‘a brilliant idea’ which ‘saves valuable time and reduces risk for conveyancers’. 70 thousand
