Fee reductions when using Scale 1

There are reduced fees for:

  • voluntary first registrations (applications for first registration based on adverse possession or lost deeds are regarded as voluntary applications, unless the application includes a deed that triggers compulsory registration) (minimum 25% reduction)
  • transfers of whole and surrenders of whole for registered titles when using the portal or Business Gateway (reduced by 55% compared with the fee for postal applications).

There are no reduced fees for:

  • applications for first registration of title to a rentcharge, a franchise or a profit, or mines and minerals held apart from the surface (as these are not treated as voluntary applications for fee purposes)
  • transfers of part and other applications affecting part of registered titles even when using the portal or Business Gateway
  • applications to register leases when using the portal or Business Gateway
