Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Sneinton?
Sneinton conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not requires the purchaser’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to assist.

The average fee 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 sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
