The freeholder has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Fishguard?
Fishguard conveyancing on leasehold flats often involves the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay annual, this is usually not a large amount, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds. The best form of lease structure is if the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and even though a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Does the lease have onerous restrictions?
