There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
Following years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Vauxhall. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

That would normally be once you have the loan offer from your bank and valuation results, nevertheless should you wish to speed the process you can start sooner albeit risking some money.
