asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the maximum penalty for domestic burglary committed by an adult or a juvenile.

The maximum penalty on conviction on indictment for burglary of a dwelling is 14 years' imprisonment, and for aggravated burglary is life imprisonment. The maximum penalty on summary conviction for burglary of a dwelling is six months' imprisonment. The same maximum custodial penalties apply to juveniles.
