I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in Chatteris.

The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started March 1993.

I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Chatteris, where the lease is nearon sixety nine years but she was told by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the flat owner was waiting for her to retain lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

I am looking at buying an auction property and identified a studio flat in Chatteris.

My lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?

I am the freeholder of a property in Chatteris and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
