What is Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
The First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) (formerly known as the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) is the court equivalent to property related matters.
If agreement cannot be reached in either lease extension or freehold purchase matters, within 6 months, then either party have the right to apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) (formerly known as the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) to have their case heard. A tribunal usually consists of 2-3 professionals with at least 1 surveyor and 1 legal professional both with relevant knowledge of the matters to be heard.
The First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) (formerly known as the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal) will firstly issue directions, with strict timescales, to both parties on what they want each of their professional advisers (solicitors and surveyors) to do. If these timescales are not adhered to the Tribunal can take that into account when asked to award costs.
Each party therefore needs proper professional advice to guide them through this maze of regulation and, firstly, to try and avoid a full hearing (thereby saving costs for their clients) but also to fight their client’s case as vigorously as possible if a full hearing becomes necessary.
Some professionals will claim to know how to deal with leasehold matters when in reality they have very little experience or knowledge.

I had the pleasure of using Jatinder’s services to carry out a lease extension valuation on a recent purchase of a leasehold flat with 52 years unexpired. Jatinder was prompt with his communication and produced a thorough report laying out the details of expected premium to pay. I found using him an enjoyable experience and would recommend to others.

I have used Jatinder of Leasehold Valuations for 2 lease extensions and a communal enfranchisement claim. His prices were reasonable, he responded quickly and efficiently and he always explains things clearly. His terms are clearly laid out and he is very knowledgeable indeed. My only regret is that I had not found him earlier!

As a leaseholder of several buy-to-let flats, I've now used Jatinder for several lease extensions and have found him to be excellent value - both in successfully negotiating a reduced Premium and his attention to detail. I would use again.

I used LeaseholdValuations.com to extend the lease on my flat which only had 59 years remaining. I had spoken to some other lease extension specialists previously but found LeaseholdValuations.com more friendly and much more helpful. They were very patient and helped me throughout each stage of the process. On top of this they saved me over £15,000 from what the freeholder was asking. I would certainly use them again and will be recommending them to my friends and family. Well done
