This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required.

I own the freehold reversion of a property in Ashford where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
