  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in Frome, where the lease is about seventy two years but she was told by the selling agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the flat owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • Offer accepted on a a garden flat in Frome, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease had over 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer in writing through the post which states the lease as eighty years.We are soon to exchange contracts in a couple of days.

  • I am the freeholder of a property in Frome and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 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 a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • We know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • Are you able to provide an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a garden flat in Frome. She already has a figure from the freeholder for a lease extension but I am not sure it is too high.
