This may be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant amount, say about £25-£75 but you should to check as occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds.

The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Ryhall or across England and Wales.
