There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it exceeds £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
