Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be content to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary 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 should you wish to complete the sale of your home.

How does one remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a property in Tower Hill?
If a Tower Hill property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as when it comes to a sale your lawyer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the joint owner is missing from the transfer, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased name removed from the title entries by submitting an application to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
