  • I am the freeholder of a property in Yorkshire Dales where the 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 valuer has recommended a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?

  • We currently own a 2 bed flat in Yorkshire Dales and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has fivety nine years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my studio flat in Yorkshire Dales. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
