A few days later, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

There are plenty of short leases in Ingatestone. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

Sixweeks into a sale of a flat in Ingatestone. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the landlord. So far we have issued a cheque for £275 for a leasehold management pack and then another £134.40 for supplemental queries supplied by the purchaser's conveyancer.
Your lawyer will not have any control over the extent of the fee for this information but the average costs for the information for Ingatestone leasehold premises is £355. For Ingatestone conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the seller to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no statute that requires set fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time limit by which they are obliged to issue answers.
