  • Just been over 2 years that I have been in my maisonette in Dartmouth. I have sixety nine yrs left on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend.

What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Dartmouth and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has recommended 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 armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
