Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £200,000 flat in Denbighshire in nine days. The management company has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Denbighshire?
Denbighshire conveyancing on leasehold flats usually involves the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer.

There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it exceeds £800.

In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
I own a studio flat in Denbighshire, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2000. 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? Similar flats in Denbighshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2083
With just 58 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
