This work covers the fees charged by HM Land Registry for registering property interests in England. A solicitor’s role includes confirming which registrations or amendments are needed, preparing the required forms, and paying the correct Land Registry fees on the client’s behalf. They will gather the necessary title deeds and documents, draft or check the disposition, transfer, or first-registration deeds, and submit applications to HM Land Registry, ensuring compliance with the relevant fee schedules. The matter may be shaped by whether quick registration, first registration, or a change of ownership is involved, and by any penalties or refunds that could apply.
