However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has sixety six years left on the lease.

  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Chepstow 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 valuer has come back with £12,520. 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 armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
  • My and my fiance know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
