Land Registry Fees

Fees for Common Applications

HM Land Registry fees vary depending on the type and value of the transaction. Below are the fee scales for common applications such as Scale 1 (e.g., first registrations, transfers for value) and Scale 2 (e.g., charges, leases) transactions, as well as charges for registered land, large-scale applications, and fixed-fee applications. Fees are assessed on the VAT-inclusive consideration or rent.

Additional Information

  • Large-Scale Applications: For applications involving multiple titles or complex transactions, additional fees may apply. Contact HM Land Registry for specific guidance.
  • Fixed-Fee Applications: Certain services, such as official copies or searches, have fixed fees starting from £3 (as of December 2024, subject to the £4 increase for information services).
  • Electronic Discounts: Fees are often lower when applications are submitted via the HM Land Registry portal or Business Gateway, as shown in the tables above.
  • Voluntary First Registration: Registering unregistered land voluntarily incurs reduced fees under Scale 1, encouraging property owners to secure their titles.
  • VAT Considerations: Ensure the transaction value includes VAT where applicable, as this affects the fee calculation.
