The fees for accessing and obtaining copies of title plans and registers have doubled as of 9/12/2024, this is the first change to the cost in more than 10 years.
The new charges will mean that, for digital services:
- – Inspection of an Individual register or plan will increase from £3 to £7
- – Official copy of an individual register or plan 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
Land Charges applications submitted on paper will increase by £6 for searches and £5 for official copies and inspections.
HMLR states that this increase is due to rising operating costs for their services and the increased digitisation that is being introduced. However, the Land Registry reiterates that customers using the products will be paying less than they were in 1992.
What Does This Mean to Me as a Client?
For any documents ordered before 9/12/2024, the charge will remain at the previous rates. However, if any documents are ordered after this date, the new fee will be charged. This will be reflected in your completion statement or invoice. If you have any queries relating to the above, please contact us.
