Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested 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 tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
