Article 2 Applications for first registration and applications for registration of a lease by an original lessee
The fee for an application for first registration of an estate in land is payable under Scale 1 on the value of the estate in land comprised in the application assessed under article 7 unless the application is—
for the registration of title to a lease by the original lessee or his personal representative, where paragraph (2) applies,
a voluntary application, where paragraph (6) applies, or
a large scale application, where article 6 applies.
The fee for an application for the registration of title to the grant of a lease by the original lessee or his personal representative is payable under Scale 1—
on an amount equal to the sum of the premium and the rent, or
where
there is no premium, and
either there is no rent or the rent cannot be quantified at the time the application is made,
on the value of the lease assessed under article 7 subject to a minimum fee of £40,
unless either of the circumstances in paragraph (3) applies.
Paragraph (2) shall not apply if the application is—
a voluntary application, where paragraph (6) applies, or
a large scale application, where article 6 applies.
The fee for an application for the first registration of a rentcharge is £40.
The fee for an application for the first registration of a franchise or a profit is payable under Scale 1 on the value of the franchise or the profit assessed under article 7.
The fee for a voluntary application is the fee which would otherwise be payable under paragraphs (1) and (2) for applications to which those paragraphs apply reduced by 25 per cent and, where the reduced fee would be a figure which includes pence, the fee must be adjusted to the nearest £10.
In paragraph (2) “lease” means—
a lease which grants an estate in land whether or not the grant is a registrable disposition, or
a lease of a franchise, profit or manor the grant of which is a registrable disposition.
