Our family lawyer has given a fee estimate £995 for fixed fee conveyancing in Forest Gate. I’m hoping to sell a Edwardian house for £300,000. Is this too much? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Forest Gate?

As a leasehold owner I am liable for a maintenance contribution for my ground floor flat in Forest Gate. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped into arrears with payments. The management company agreed a payment plan but there is still a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I am under pressure to sell and I am worried this could hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the proceeds - is this possible?
Do clarify with the property lawyer carrying out your Forest Gate conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The purchase price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the fees once they are the owners.
