I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Harold Wood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Harold Wood?
Harold Wood conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally requires the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
