Land Registration (Network Access) Rules 2008

The Land Registry organisation requires fees to be paid, and I do not see why that is a problem. The registry is self-funding and makes no call on public funds to carry out its core business. The fees charged to customers prescribed by an order made by the Lord Chancellor with the consent of the Treasury are regularly reviewed. As the new system, e-conveyancing, will enable a more efficient service to be provided to customers, it is not unreasonable to ask them to pay for it.
