  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Milton Keynes and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 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 a FTT.
