The log-in says I will get an email that will start my account. No email has come after two days. When I emailed to ask why an automated email email came saying that they are taking five days to answer emails.
Anyone else?

Don't know. But I guess the recent news has caused the usual tsunami of people waking up. Must be crappy working in a place which becomes the focus of panic.
Check your junk mail or spam folder.
I got the mail within 30 seconds. However, my previous log in details to the land registry were no longer recognised so I had to set up a new account.
I did this on Monday, the email arrived within a couple of minutes.
+1. You should have got an "Authenticate this email" within minutes of registering.

Same here. I was amazed that the drop down (during registration) for 'title' actually included 'Eur Ing'. First one I've seen.
What would be the reason to need alerts? Far as I am aware local authorities have to tell people living near developments being proposed in writing. Brian
The story linked to is about a case where someone wasn't livng in their house, and it was sold without their knowledge (a clever scam). Thew perpetrator got the money, and got away. They have lost the house but will probably get compensation.
The alerts tell you if anyone even does a search on the propery.
If, for example, you own a property and are working away while someone steals your identity and sells your house, the Land Registry will alert you to a change regarding that property.
For some reason, a lot of people have suddenly become aware of this...
+2 I presume we all listen to the Radio4!
I expect this is driven by the news of the recent case where a Vicar had his house fraudulently transferred to new owners without his knowledge.
Are you using
Same here. Never used them before, but wanted to find out who owned a rented house nearby. Registered and paid the £3 quid and got what I wanted all in a few hours.
Always assuming that you get the email while abroad or wherever and can actually do something in response.
Allowing a change of photo driving license to a totally different ethnic origin should have been stopped by the DVLA
However, Companies House will let anyone browse all company and director information, which reveals full name, address and date of birth and even access to scanned annual returns showing signatures and no registration or fee needs to be paid !.
Another epic fail by a semi-quango government department with a 'Chief Exec' who is paid many times what the PM is paid.
and presumably you can get an alert about a house located anywhere in the world (the drop down for property location lists all countries) :)
It happens that Brian Gaff (Sofa) formulated :
It's an aleart which warns you about any applications made to the land registry, with regards to any address. The any address, can be the address you own and/or live it, or you can just be nosey and include neighbours and/or families addresses too.
The reason for the sunami is that a vicar had his home fraudulently stolen and re-registered with the LR, whilst he was away in Wales. Had he registered for the LR emails, he would have had an email from the LR warning about the application.
I did this..... Oh, maybe a decade ago.
You'd have thought that being a Vicar, he might have been alerted by a 'higher authority', assuming that the said HA was any use at all!
