Changes to Fees for HM Land Registry Information Services Starting December 2024

From Monday 9th December 2024, HM Land Registry will increase fees for its information services, marking the first rise in over a decade.

The fees are increasing by £4 and will help to fund service improvements, with a focus on enhancing digital access and efficiency.

 Examples of Fee Changes:

  • Electronic inspection of an individual register or plan: £3 to £7
  • Official electronic copy of an individual register or plan: £3 to £7
  • Agricultural Credits Service or application,  registrations, cancellations, or rectifications of an entry per name: £1 to £5

This adjustment aligns with HM Land Registry's commitment to improve its digital infrastructure, keeping services as affordable as possible. However, even with the increase, the majority of customers will still be paying less than they were in 1992.

For businesses with automated systems, be sure to update these changes before they come into effect on 9th December 2024.

These adjustments are separate from an ongoing, more comprehensive review of HM Land Registry’s fees and charging model, which aims to make services more accessible and customer-friendly.
