We said

Thank you for your query regarding employment and operational information for The Land Registry. 

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not collect information at the level requested from individual businesses/organisations.

Even if we did hold such data, we would be unable to release this to you. The information we collect from individual businesses/organisations is on a confidential basis and we are under legal obligation not to disclose such information. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) makes it a criminal offence for ONS to disclose information that identifies individual businesses.  

The Land Registry would be better placed to advise on your request. Please contact them directly at foi@landregistry.gov.uk.
