Management company charges £240 admin fee for management pack

Hello
Can anyone tell me if it is normal to be charged £240 as an admin fee (they said they cannot break down the cost) for a management pack to be given to my solicitor which answers questions in relation to me selling my flat.
My management company are pretty expensive as I currently pay £95 per month for communal areas to be cleaned (it has 3 floors), communal windows (not mine) to be cleaned, garden to me maintained and building insurance. I feel like they are just squeezing more money out of me.
What do you think?
Thanks

Its a fee they can choose to charge.

Thank you. I feel slightly better knowing that.0

I think that £240 is below the average, so nothing to worry about.0

Agree - sounds on the cheaper side of usual to me!

I had to pay £210 last year, so not beyond the realms. My management fee was £120/month for much the same services as well so yours isn't too bad in comparison!0

I think you're lucky - mine was £340! And we have had years of poor service, incorrect charges and general mismanagement.0

Mine was £300
