Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Brandon. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the freeholder. So far we have paid £275 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £134.40 for supplemental queries supplied by the purchaser's solicitor.
You will not have control over the level of the bill for this information but the average costs for the information for Brandon leasehold property is £355. When it comes to Brandon conveyancing transactions it is customary for the vendor to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that mandates fixed fees for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are duty bound to supply the information.
