You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Lynton

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Lynton conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.

The freeholder has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Lynton?

Lynton conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not requires the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. 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 answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork 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 accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.
