Are the fee’s definitely £3 ?
I ask as when I was being nosy , wanting to find out who had bought some land and for how much, I was shocked to see the title/ plan fees were now nearly £20!!
Perhaps a deterrent for nosy old sods like me ;)
Was that the " actual" land registry site pr 3rd party site??

Being nosey is pretty cheap but the LR site is not the easiest to navigate if you don't know the number.
Once had the owner of neighbouring £1m house having a screaming fit because 'we weren't allowed' to know about the restrictions on their deeds.
Anyone could get them for £3 plus £3.
By the way missus, we put the restrictions on your deeds.

Be very aware that the Land registry, unlike old fashioned deeds, very frequently misses large chunks of very important detail. Boundaries , and rights of way are the commonest. I have certainly a right of way, and the legal proof across a piece of land which was sold a few years back, butr the new ownere is totally unaware

Also very slow to update ownership and price paid??

And as said above , those transferring details from old paper deeds to online system OFTEN put or draw incorrect boundaries etc etc too.

Land registry plans also only show the general boundary position and cannot be relied on when the boundary is disputed. You would have thought that they would have an accurate mapping system in this day and age.

Overage agreements are not normally registered on the title. The extract of the register shows a restriction to protect the overage agreement not that the overage agreement is registered against the title.
If you have an overage and your solicitor doesn’t register it sue him for negligence.
