The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started January 1985.

  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have approximately 71 years remaining on my lease on a three bed flat in Canvey Island.

I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist. My query is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and difficult is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
