Seeking your views on our fees On 8 March we launched a call for evidence as part of a review of the current approach to setting fees for our data and services. The review will look at how our fees and charging structure can be improved by asking questions based on three themes.
Modernising and simplifying the fee structure.
Ensuring fees are fair and reasonable.
Supporting the land and property information agenda and encouraging innovation through better and more open access to data.
Chief Executive and Chief Land Registrar Simon Hayes said: "We want to seek views from a wide audience to ensure that the way we charge for our services supports our customers as well as the delivery of our Strategy 2022+."
The call for evidence will run until Friday 5 April.
Recognising the vital work of conveyancers Reflecting on National Conveyancing Week, we want to take this valuable opportunity to catch up with and pay tribute to conveyancers. We recognise the increased demands and pressures on the valuable service you provide and fully support the critical role you continue to play in every property transaction. We are exploring new ways to assist you in your vital work, introducing new services and support to make life a little easier.Here is a flavour of our current and recent activities.
New video: How to complete form AP1 Form AP1 (Application to change the register) is our most used application form. Our new video setting out exactly how to use the form is designed to help members of the public, although it might also be useful for practitioners submitting paper applications.

Last chance to have your say on the creation of a Digital Property Information Protocol The Digital Property Market Steering Group would like to invite you to take a short survey to gather your views on the creation of a Digital Property Information Protocol. This protocol would set out the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders in the adoption of digital property information and digital solutions, improving certainty for all involved in home buying and selling. Please take this opportunity to help improve property transactions. The opportunity is about to expire as the survey closes at midnight on Monday (1 April).
