Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Thornhill. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay a fortune by the managing agents. So far we have issued a cheque for £268 for a leasehold management information and then another £200 plus VAT for supplemental questions raised by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.

Your conveyancer will unlikely have any say over the extent of the charges for this information but the typical fee for the information for Thornhill leasehold property is £380. For Thornhill conveyancing sales it is conventional for the vendor to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates set charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are obliged to issue the information.
