All being well we will complete the sale of our £375,000 maisonette in Wollaston in just under a week. The management company has quoted £324 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Wollaston?

Wollaston conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not involves the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions 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 situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.

I purchased a studio flat in Wollaston, conveyancing having been completed July 2006. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Wollaston with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2084

With 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £21,900 and £25,200 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
