Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Halstead. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
