  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Birkenshaw. The lease has only seventy years balance left and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income.

Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Birkenshaw where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has put forward a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
