Leasehold Property Transactions
If you’re buying or selling a leasehold property, we charge an additional £350 + VAT due to the extra legal work involved.
Common Leasehold Disbursements
Type of Fee | Typical Range |
---|---|
Landlord’s information pack (sale) | £150 – £250 + VAT |
Notice of Transfer (purchase) | £50 – £200 |
Notice of Charge (if mortgaged) | £50 – £200 |
Deed of Covenant | £150 – £250 |
Certificate of Compliance | £150 – £250 |
Exact amounts vary per property and will be confirmed after reviewing your lease.
NB Our fee assumes that:
- This is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction.
- If leasehold this is the assignment of an existing lease and is not the grant of a new lease.
- The transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complication arise.
- All parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties providing documentation.
- No indemnity policies
