There should be a fully public register of charges and options over land titles, and public databases of the prices paid for all property and of public subsidies paid on land. Land should be registered with the Land Registry as a prerequisite for receiving subsidies.

Local Authority Asset Registers and sales should be published as open data. There should also be a full register of planning permissions, including developers’ commitments.
