  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my two bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Melbourne. I have seventy one years unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors 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?

Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has suggested a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need 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 incur?
