So far we have forked out £237 for a leasehold management information and then a further £134.40 for supplemental questions raised by the buyers conveyancing practitioner.

Neither you or your conveyancer will have any sway over the level of the bill for this information however the average costs for the information for Ely leasehold premises is £350.
