Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many (a) primary residences, (b) second homes and (c) uninhabited properties in the UK are owned by Russian nationals.

HM Land Registry (HMLR) registers legal ownership, interests, mortgages and other secured loans against land and property in England and Wales. Land Registration is a devolved matter in Scotland and in Northern Ireland.

The Register of Title held by HMLR does not record the nationality of individuals who own land or property, or whether that property is a primary residence, second home or uninhabited property.

Further details about the information that HM Land Registry holds, what is publicly available, and how it can be obtained, is set out online via the GOV.UK website.
