Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Victoria Docks. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the managing agents. To date we have paid £268 for a leasehold management pack and then another £118 for additional queries supplied by the purchaser's property lawyer.

Your lawyer will unlikely have any control over the level of the fee for this information but the typical costs for the information for Victoria Docks leasehold property is £350.
