The Northern Ireland Audit Office has complained that there is no evidence that a service providing online access to land registry information clearly delivered value for money. His report was on the Land & Property Services’ (LPS) LandWeb project, managed by the LPS and delivered by British Telecommunications (BT). It provided online access to Northern Ireland’s Land Registry, Registry of Deeds, and Statutory Charges register. “My report recognises that a fully functional and consistent IT service has been provided by BT throughout the LandWeb project to date,” said Mr Donnelly. “While the department did negotiate cost savings of £1.8 million from the extension term 2019 to 2021, I found no evidence to clearly demonstrate that the LandWeb project has delivered value for money,” added Mr Donnelly.
