If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £150,000 garden flat in Victoria Docks next Wednesday. The managing agents has quoted £372 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Victoria Docks?
Victoria Docks conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions the majority will be willing to do so. They are entitled to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality one has little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a property in Victoria Docks which is to be sold. The property has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some purchasers will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems advisable to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
