  • My OH and I are hoping to purchase a home (a one bedroom apartment based inMelling with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 83 years remaining. We identified a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our informed us the lease only has 61 years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we run away, or should 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 own the freehold reversion of a property in Melling where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has come back with £12,520. 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 equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
