  • We are hoping to acquire a home (a one bedroom apartment located inHorsham with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least 84 years balance left. We came across a flat we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our solicitors informed us the lease only has sixety five years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Horsham and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has put forward 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 equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
  • We know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
  • We currently own a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Horsham and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 68 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
