This guidance page confirms that, in general terms, where fee is charged on value (e.g. in an application for voluntary registration or disposition for no monetary consideration or disposition where value is higher than consideration), it is charged on the value as certified on the application for registration form. For voluntary registration applications received on or after 30 June 2015, a 25% reduction in registration fees will apply. There is an exception where other information in the application suggests that the consideration or value certified as the basis for the fee calculation on the form is incorrect. For example, if the application form indicates that the consideration for a disposition was £50,000, but the disposition states that the consideration was discounted from a value of £120,000, then the registration officer should calculate the correct fee chargeable based on £120,000, as the value of the property is higher than the consideration paid. This may mean that the application requires to be rejected if the fee tendered is insufficient. The application itself must contain a clear contradiction of the consideration/value of the property on which the applicant has calculated their fee for there to be an issue. This means that only the information contained in the relevant application for registration should be considered when assessing whether the fee tendered is sufficient - the officer should not use information in a different application for registration e.g. the information in an application for a standard security when assessing the fee tendered for an application for a disposition. If an officer is uncertain whether there is sufficient information to justify ignoring the application form certification when calculating the correct fee, a referral should be made. |
Guidance
If the application is for registration of a deed or voluntary registration and correct fee is not tendered with the application and the applicant or their agent is not paying via the direct debit scheme, the application for registration must be rejected. The applicant has not fulfilled the general application condition stipulated in section 22(1)(e) of the 2012 Act. |
If the application is for voluntary registration, but the application form does not certify the value of the property, it is not possible calculate the correct registration fee or ascertain if the payment tendered by cheque is satisfactory, the application must be rejected. The applicant has not fulfilled the general application condition stipulated at section 22(1)(e) of the 2012 Act. |
If the application is for an advance notice and the correct fee is not tendered with the application and the applicant or their agent is not paying via the direct debit scheme, the application for an advance notice must be rejected. The applicant has not fulfilled the payment condition stipulated at section 57(3) of the 2012 Act. |
Where the fee is to be charged on value, an application should not automatically be rejected on the basis that an approximate value has been stated on the form. For example, if the value is stated on the form to be "in excess of £5,000,000", or is stated to be "in the range £200,001 - £300,000" or "between £225,000 and £275,000", this is acceptable. In these examples there is sufficient information to calculate the correct fee without an exact figure being provided. This type of approximation is most likely to be used in voluntary registration applications. However, if the value is stated to be "in excess of" a figure lower than £5,000,000, or is stated to range between two or more fee categories in the table of fees, or where a different style of approximation is used, the application should be referred to a referral officer, as it may not be possible to calculate the fee based on the table of fees. |
