  • I am the freeholder of a property in Holmes Chapel and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has suggested a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
