The First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) Fees Order 2013

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order specifies the matters dealt with in the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal for which fees are payable. It lists the types of proceedings which attract a fee, identifies the point at which the fee is payable, the person liable to pay such fee and the amount of the fee.

The Transfer of Tribunal Functions Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/1036) transferred into the unified tribunal structure the functions of (amongst others) residential property tribunals and leasehold valuation tribunals in relation to England. The effect of this Order is that the circumstances which attracted fees in those tribunals will attract fees in the Property Chamber, though the amount of the fees has been increased by the rate of inflation since the fees were last increased for those types of proceedings. The original fees are detailed in the Explanatory Memorandum to this Order which is published on the website of the Office of Public Sector Information.

This Order also provides for fees to be remitted in certain circumstances and for fees to be reduced rateably where one or more of the applicants is granted a fee remission.
