Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Bedale. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the freeholder. To date we have forked out £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for supplemental queries raised by the buyers solicitor.

You will not have control over the extent of the fee for this information however the average fee for the information for Bedale leasehold property is £360. For Bedale conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the seller to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are obliged to issue answers.
