‘As the freeholder of the building and after receiving a section 42 notice from one of the leaseholders, I instructed Blakes to prepare a lease extension valuation on my behalf and handle the negotiation of the appropriate premium to be paid. Roshan inspected the property promptly and provided me with a detailed and accurate valuation of the premium payable which was significantly higher than what was offered by the leaseholder. Following some extensive negotiations with the lessees surveyor, Roshan agreed an excellent settlement allowing the matter to be completed without referral to the Tribunal, acting in my best interests and ensuring my financial interests in the freehold were protected. I would highly recommend using Blakes Chartered Surveyors’
