EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules prescribe the fees payable to the Chief Land Registrar for various services relating to local land charges affecting land in England and provided under the Local Land Charges Act 1975 (c. 76) and the Local Land Charges Rules 2018 (S.I. 2018/273). They replace the fees specified by individual local authorities under section 13A of the Local Land Charges Act 1975 for similar services relating to local land charges affecting land in their respective administrative areas: this section is repealed by the Infrastructure Act 2015 (c. 7) with effect in a local authority area on the same day as these Rules have effect in that area.

The services for which fees are payable are set out in the Schedule. Paragraphs (1) to (4) are services in connection with light obstruction notices, which are a particular type of local land charge. Under paragraph (5), a fee is payable for an official search of the register, unless an application for such a search is received within 6 months of an earlier such application, delivered by the same person and in relation to the same land, and being an official search for which a fee was paid.

Rule 3 prescribes when the fees for these services are payable, and how the fees are to be paid.

A full impact assessment of the effect that the amendments to the Local Land Charges Act 1975 and this instrument will have on the costs of business, the voluntary sector and the public sector is available from the Policy and Stakeholder Team, Trafalgar House, 1 Bedford Park, Croydon, CR0 2AQ and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside these Rules on www.legislation.gov.uk.

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
