Legal costs for a new lease by reference. What is usual charge for a new lease?

22-06-2022, 18:44 PM

My original lease 5 year ago was 1000.
I've been asked for 1250 + vat for a new lease by reference??

Is this really the going rate and what would this be adding to my original lease except time!!
