  • We are proceeding with a purchase of a three bed flat in Lower Sunbury. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (seventy one years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the seller intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my failed to pick this up far earlier than just before exchange?

Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has recommended a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need 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?
