A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

We are in the midst of a leasehold sale of a flat in Baglan. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the landlord. So far we have paid £225 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for additional queries supplied by the purchaser's lawyer.
Neither you or your solicitor will have any control over the level of the bill for this information however the typical fee for the information for Baglan leasehold premises is £395. For Baglan conveyancing transactions it is usual for the seller to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. There is no legal time limit by which they are duty bound to supply answers.
