Re: cost of removing charging order from land register?

If you pay off the amount you owe under the charging order, you can apply to the court for the order to be discharged. Ask the court for a certificate of satisfaction on your county court judgment and include evidence of payment.
You can then use the certificate to get the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines changed. This should make it easier for you to get credit.
It is usual for creditors to inform the Land Registry that the interim and final charging order have been discharged.

As Mike has said the charge holder should inform the Land Registry that the charge has been satisfied and should be discharged. You might need to write to them to ask them to do this and confirm it has been done in writing as they don't tend to do it automatically without a nudge. If the company who hold the charging order is difficult you can apply to the court for a certificate of satisfaction of the original judgment debt (form N443 - cost £15 ) and then give that to the Land Registry - the actual discharge of the charging order shouldn't attract a fee ( I believe it is exempt - otherwise it would be £20/£40 ).
