Bargoed conveyancing on leasehold flats often requires the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries the majority will be willing to assist.

The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due.

Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
