  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Rhymney. The lease has only seventy five years remaining and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.

  • I am the freeholder of a property in Rhymney where the leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?

  • I have a lease of fivety eight years remaining on my flat in Rhymney. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided.
