Notices, Consents and Copies

Notice of Transfer

We charge a minimum fee of £62.50 plus VAT for each notice. If the lease specifies a higher fee, we charge the higher fee. The fee covers the service of registering, receipting and returning the notice. If the fee is not paid, the notice will not be dealt with (i.e. a receipted notice will not be returned). Types of notice we process include:- transfer, assignment, mortgage, discharge of mortgage and vacating receipt.

Consent for Alterations

Contact us at consents@compton.group

Where the lease or rent charge deed stipulates that you need our consent for alterations, then, if you plan to carry out alterations in the future, you will need our written consent prior to commencement of the works (i.e. prospective consent); if the alterations have already been carried out, our retrospective consent will be required. In all cases involving our consent for alterations, we will need confirmation that:-

• we will be fully indemnified from all third party claims
• planning permission either has been obtained or is not required; and
• building regulation approval either has been obtained or is not required

Our fee will vary from case to case. However, for guidance purposes only, in the case of an addition of an average size conservatory we would normally charge £200 (no VAT) for prospective consent and £400 (no VAT) for retrospective consent.

If you require a quote for our fees for granting consent, please write to us enclosing a copy of the plans of the alteration.
