Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has come back with £12,520.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Selby as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
