Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Southend leasehold property is £350. For Southend 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.
