Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Scale 1 and Scale 2?
Scale 1 is used for the registration of a purchase of a whole title. Scale 2 is used for transfers of part, transfers not for money, and the registration of new mortgages. Our 100% free tool handles both scales instantly.
Why is first registration more expensive?
First registrations involve registering a property that has never been on the HMLR database. This requires manual processing of old paper deeds, so there is no 100% free digital discount for this specific service.
