The Ministry of Justice yesterday published its plans to revise the fee for a personal search of the local land charges register. There will be no change to the way in which the fee is set – it will remain centrally set, rather than locally determined – but the fee will increase to £22 from £11. The changes will take place from January 2010. But there is no certainty it will!
It should be noted that as the £22 fee represents a 100% increase in fee levels and in light of yesterdays confirmation from Lord Mandelson that new regulatory burdens should not be imposed upon businesses until 2011, CoPSO will be raising this with BERR.
