We required a lease extension to our flat in Rochester, Kent. Mike Stapleton prepared the Section 42 Notice of Claim and arranged for service upon our landlord. He then swiftly dealt with the negotiation of the premium and agreed the landlord’s recoverable costs with a minimum of fuss.Patricia Harrison – Rochester, Kent
Mike Stapleton handled my claim to buy the freehold of my leasehold house in Hertford. Having only 62 years unexpired was causing me significant problems in trying to sell the property. With Mike's assistance I was able to buy the freehold for £5,000 and I have since been able to sell the property with the benefit of the freehold for a much improved price.Christine Brennan - Hertford, Herts
Dear Mike - Thank you for representing us in the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal for our lease extension claim from our landlord Freshwater. We were staggered when they asked £39,164, for our small flat in south-east London, which had an unexpired lease of approximately 64 years. We knew Freshwater had a reputation for being difficult to deal with, but thank you so much for persuading the Tribunal to accept a far more realistic premium of £13,346.Steve Lennon & Anne Morgan - London
