    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Threeweeks into a sale of a flat in Elland. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the landlord. To date we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £134.40 for supplemental queries supplied by the purchaser's conveyancer.

Neither you or your property lawyer will have any say over the level of the charges for this information but the average fee for the information for Elland leasehold premises is £350. For Elland conveyancing deals it is usual for the owner to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to address such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates fixed charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time limit by which they are duty bound to issue answers.
