The cost of each respective Sales Pack varies between different Freeholders and Management Companies however, can on average be £300.00 – £500.00 although can on occasion be significantly more or less. We shall advise you of this cost upon receiving confirmation from the Freeholder and/or Management Company at which point you will be asked to make payment to us on account of the same so we can request the pack.

Details of anticipated disbursements are set out in the table above. Whilst we have tried to include as many fees and disbursements as possible, please contact us with the details of your transaction so we may provide a bespoke quote specific for your circumstances.
