Man left shocked as his house is 'stolen'
The article says "The Land Registry paid out a total of £3.5m in compensation for fraud last year." which tends to imply they have some liability.

I wonder if that means they don't pay all that much compensation on a case by case basis, or if there isn't that much fraud occurring to begin with.

I suspect they'd rather you claimed against the fraudster or a solicitor, with the compensation fund as a backstop. If that is the case, it could be neither: just that most people get recompensed elsewhere.
