After you buy a home, it must be registered in your name with HM Land Registry. Your solicitor or conveyancer usually applies online and adds the fee to their bill. The fee depends on the price. Registering a mortgage taken out at the same time does not usually cost extra.
Other applications, such as buying part of a title, a new lease or first registration of unregistered land, have different fees. HM Land Registry lists them all. In Scotland, homes are registered with Registers of Scotland, which has its own fees.
