I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Hampshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Hampshire conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hampshire. We have lived in Hampshire for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Hampshire?

Hampshire conveyancing on leasehold flats often necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries most will be willing to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations.
