  • I am the freeholder of a property in Selston and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting 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?
  • We know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Selston 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?
