Charlbury conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally involves fees being levied by managing agents :

    Addressing conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Charlbury Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Charlbury leasehold property is £350. For Charlbury conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Charlbury, conveyancing having been completed October 2006. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease?

Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
