Widdrington conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally requires the purchaser’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address such questions most will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
