Licence to Assign - unreasonable fees?
Hello, I am selling my leasehold flat and have just been advised that the cost to me to transfer the licence to assign is £750 + vat - does that sound a bit over the top? Or is it usual?

Re: Licence to Assign - unreasonable fees?
Yes it is unreasonable, but doing something about it is generally difficult. Best advice is that your solicitors should have spotted that the freeholders solicitors /managing agents were a load of xxxxx before you bought and warned you.
A formal licence drawn up by solicitors is rarely legally necessary - a letter will do - but no, we have to create unnecessary legal work so we can charge for it, don't we?
