The freeholder has quoted £336 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Mawsley?

Mawsley conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not necessitates the purchaser’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I acquired a split level flat in Mawsley, conveyancing was carried out January 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Mawsley with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079

With only 54 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
