Abstract: The Register of Overseas Entities (ROE) was introduced by the government in Spring 2022 with the commitment that it would require anonymous foreign owners of UK property to reveal their real identities. We use data released by Companies House and HM Land Registry to assess to what extent the ROE is currently delivering on this aim. We identify and quantify several major gaps in the scope and operation of the register and make recommendations for how the register could be improved.
