Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income.

I acquired the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?

There is sixety seven years residual lease term. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the solicitors charges?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Irlam and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has put forward a much higher premium. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
