When I purchased my home I paid Land Registry fees. Now that I am switching my mortgage, why do I have to pay a similar fee again?

Updating Land Registry records when changing lenders is a legal necessity, and incurs a new fee separate from the initial purchase fee. When you switch mortgages, your new mortgage is registered against the title deeds, this fee is charged for updating your record. The fees are outlined here Land Registry Fees – Tailte Éireann.
