You cannot do a PN1 in Orbital Witness, however, you can search for commercially owned titles for instantaneous results!
Step-by-step guide:
Type a company name or number into the search bar, on the top-right of the screen.
Select the "Corporate Owners" tab to view results.
Select check-boxes for options that match your desired proprietor. You can sort results by company name, number or number of titles. Company numbers are linked to Companies House.
Click next to view all of the titles owned by your selected proprietors. You can sort these results and filter them by local authority, address or title number to identify your desired titles.
Select the titles you want to add to your matter. Click "Select: all" to add all the titles owned by the companies selected or select the checkboxes next to a subset.
"Add to group" to have all the titles grouped together in your matter list. This helps you to quickly order Official Copies in bulk and organise your matter.
Click "Add titles to matter" to import all your selected titles into your matter. Please note you can add up to 1,500 titles at once.
Now these titles are saved to your matter you can make them visible on the map, download Official Copies or view them in analysis mode to create a spreadsheet or report.
You can add further owner searches to the same matter, or import a spreadsheet of your PN1 results to compare existing and new titles added.

Top tip: We recommend searching by both company number and name to ensure you catch all their titles as there are often discrepancies in how titles have been originally registered. Users who have done this have identified titles not included in the Land Registry's PN1 results.
Note: Ownership information is taken from Land Registry Corporate and Commercial Ownership Data (CCOD) and Overseas Companies Ownership Data (OCOD). This is updated monthly.
