Leasehold risk checklist
Leasehold Admin Fee Audit
Admin fees are often dispersed across LPE1, lease extracts, and correspondence. This audit framework helps you gather them in one place.
Built for England & Wales leasehold transactions.
Checklist
- List every admin fee mention from LPE1, lease clauses, and agent letters.
- Separate recurring fees from one-off transaction fees.
- Check if fee amounts are fixed, variable, or unstated.
- Confirm when each fee becomes payable in the transaction timeline.
- Ask for supporting lease wording for each fee.
Warning signals
- Large one-off completion fees with unclear basis.
- Generic wording such as 'fees may apply' without numbers.
- Inconsistent fee values across documents.
- No evidence for administration charge calculations.
Questions to ask
- Please provide a full fee schedule with VAT treatment.
- Which lease clauses support each fee requested?
- Are there any additional post-completion notice fees?
- Are any fees estimated and subject to uplift?
