Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £450,000 garden flat in Prenton next week. The landlords agents has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge.

Prenton conveyancing on leasehold flats typically necessitates fees being invoiced by management companies :

    Completing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Prenton Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Prenton leasehold property is £350. For Prenton conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide the information.

I acquired a studio flat in Prenton, conveyancing having been completed October 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Prenton with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087

You have 61 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
