HM Land Registry increases fees with effect from 9th December 2024

/in /by

From Monday 9th December, fees for HM Land Registry information services will increase for the first time in more than 10 years.

HM Land Registry said that the increase reflects the increased costs of running and improving HM Land Registry’s services, as well as plans to increase digitalisation and transformation of data. However, even with this increase, the majority of customers will still be paying less than they were in 1992.

The fee will increase by £4*, for example:

  • inspection of an individual register or plan (by electronic means) will increase from £3 to £7
  • official copy of an individual register or plan (by electronic means) will increase from £3 to £7
  • registration, cancellation or rectification of an entry per name (Agricultural Credits Service or application) will increase from £1 to £5

*The increase is £4 per application with the exception of Land Charges applications submitted on paper. These will increase by £6 for searches and £5 for official copies and inspections to address an existing anomaly and also to align with the principle of higher fees for processing paper requests compared with digital requests.

Congratulations To Luke Gardiner
