Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased 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 tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
