Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Basingstoke. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the managing agents. So far we have paid £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then another £200 plus VAT for answers to questions supplied by the purchaser's conveyancer.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any sway over the level of the fee for this information but the typical fee for the information for Basingstoke leasehold premises is £350. For Basingstoke conveyancing deals it is usual for the owner to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to address these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that requires set charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply answers.
