  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Charterhouse and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?

It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous prices . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?

  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Charterhouse. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
