Regulation 4 Amount of charge
The amount of a charge on the application for the first registration of a house is to be at the local housing authority’s discretion, subject to a maximum amount of £60 multiplied by the number of habitable rooms, and for the purposes of this paragraph a room is habitable if it is of a type normally used in the locality as a living room or a bedroom.
The amount of a charge on an application for the renewal of the registration of a house is half the charge that would then have been payable on an application for the first registration of that house.
Where—
a house in multiple occupation has been or is registered under a scheme and a new registration scheme is made which applies to that house, and
in the five year period prior to the date the new scheme comes into force, a charge has been paid to the local housing authority on the application for the first registration or for the renewal of it, or a fee has been paid to the local housing authority on its registration under a previous scheme in accordance with the Houses in Multiple Occupation (Fees for Registration Schemes) Order 1997f1,
the amount of the charge payable shall be the amount that would otherwise be payable in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2), less the aggregate of the charges and fees so paid.
