  • We are hoping to purchase a flat (a studio flat located inBrighstone with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least ninety years outstanding. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our lawyers informed us the lease only has seventy three years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or should we negotiate our offer?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Brighstone where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my mother’s lease on a three bed flat in Brighstone. She recently got a figure from the landlord for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is too high.
  • I have a lease of seventy nine years remaining on my flat in Brighstone. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
