Crypto property ownership is a headline-friendly idea. UK residential reality is still dominated by Land Registry title, mortgages, leases, and professional conveyancing.
Property Passport Blockchain Verification is positioned as an identity and verification layer for eligible Property Passport records: a public proof reference, not a market for trading homes.
