Explanatory note

This Order amends the Land Registration Fee Order 2004 (“the main order”) so as to prescribe fees for applications made under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 (2002 c. 15) (articles 7 and 8, as amending Schedule 3 to the main order).

Under the main order the fees for certain applications may depend upon the number of registered titles involved. This Order provides that where such an application relates to the freehold estate in commonhold land registered in the name of the developer the fee will be unaffected by the number of such titles (articles 5 and 6 as amending articles 6 and 9 of the main order).

A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Land Registry, 32 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3PH.
