I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Dartmouth, where the lease is nearly 59 years but she was advised by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the current owner was holding off for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

I own the freehold reversion of a property in Dartmouth and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor 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 deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?

I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Dartmouth as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
