We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • My brother and I had entered into buying a studio flat in West Croydon. I was advised that the lease had been extended (seventy years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The owner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend as a result the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

  • I am the freeholder of a property in West Croydon and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer 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 deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
