In the event thatI was to buy a simple residential housein Rickmansworth for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Rickmansworth?
The only saving you would make on is the costs for searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £275,000 apartment in Rickmansworth next week. The landlords agents has quoted £300 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Rickmansworth?
Rickmansworth conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally involves the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
