Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Arundel leasehold premises is £350. For Arundel conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Arundel, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Arundel with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2094

With 69 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
