Sowerby Bridge conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to do so.

The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800.
