What is a notice fee?

We’re buying and the initial enquiries and comments re the contract pack have been sent from our conveyancer to the sellers solicitor and we received a copy.

Our conveyancer stated that the notice fee is not enforceable and we will not be paying it.

What is a notice fee and how much might it have been?

Google doesn’t seem to know.

    Does it matter, if you're not paying it? I would guess it's a fee charged by the freeholder for the assignment of the lease.

    @lbuk Assuming you're buying a leasehold property, the 'notice fee' normally means a fee charged by the freeholder/management company to be informed of a change in leaseholder. It's usually around £50 to a couple of hundred pounds and set out in the lease or list of charges sent out by the freeholder/Mgmt co. 

    If you're buying a freehold property, not sure what it refers to.
