How Much Does a Land Registry Title Register Cost?
How Much Does a Land Registry Title Register Cost?
The cost of a Land Registry title register depends on where you order it from. Here is a clear breakdown of the fees involved.
HM Land Registry Direct
Ordering directly from HM Land Registry (through their portal at gov.uk) costs:
To use the HMLR portal directly, you need to:
1. Create an account at the Land Registry portal
2. Know the title number of the property (or search for it)
3. Pay by card online
4. Download the PDF
Third-Party Services (like Online Land Registry)
Services like ours charge more than the £3.00 HMLR base fee. Our price per document includes the HMLR fee plus a small administration charge for instant online delivery, and includes:
What's the Difference?
|---|---|---|
Both produce the same official copy document — sourced from HM Land Registry and carrying the same legal status.
Is the Document the Same?
Yes. Whether ordered directly from HMLR or through a third-party service that uses the HMLR Business Gateway, the official copy title register is identical in legal status and content. Both are issued under Section 67 of the Land Registration Act 2002.
VAT
There is **no VAT** on official copy title registers and title plans. The price you see is the price you pay.
When Is Cost Not the Main Factor?
If you need to search by address (rather than knowing the title number), if you need to search by owner name, or if you want to avoid creating a government account, using a third-party service is more convenient despite the higher cost.
