About this site

This is a single-purpose tool. It works out HM Land Registry registration fees for England and Wales from the published Scale 1 and Scale 2 tables, and it does nothing else.

Why it exists

The official fee tables are accurate but hard to read at speed. They have four columns whose meanings are set out in prose above and below the table, and the most expensive mistake is assuming that lodging through the portal always earns the discount. It does not: leases and part-title applications pay the postal rate whatever channel they go through. This calculator makes that distinction an input rather than a footnote.

How it is built

Every fee is a direct lookup from the GOV.UK fee tables, transcribed by hand and listed with its source on the methodology page. Figures were last verified on 2026-08-14. The lookup logic is covered by unit tests that check every band boundary in every column, with expected values taken from the source table rather than generated from the code.

Where the source publishes no figure, the calculator says so instead of guessing. Scale 2 has no published band above £1,000,000, and the tool returns nothing for that case by design.

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. See the privacy policy.

What this is not

It is not a firm of solicitors or licensed conveyancers, it is not affiliated with HM Land Registry, and it is not legal advice. Registration fees are one line on a completion statement. Which scale applies, and whether any reduction or exemption is available to you, can turn on the specific nature of your application. Your conveyancer is the person to confirm it with.

How it makes money

Currently it does not. There are no adverts, no affiliate links, no lead forms and no sponsored placements on this site. If that changes, it will be disclosed here first.

Corrections and contact

If a fee is wrong or a new Fee Order has come into force, send the GOV.UK source to hello@landregistryfeecalculator.co.uk and it will be corrected. Corrections to published fees are treated as urgent.
