The specialist behind Leasehold Timebomb

Michael Boaden, the director behind Leasehold Timebomb is a specialist valuer dealing with all aspects of residential ground lease extensions & freehold purchases in North East England

We are a RICS regulated firm of Chartered Surveyors who act on behalf of residential leasehold owners of both flats and houses, assisting them in agreeing a negotiated settlement for the premium payable to their freeholder to either extend their lease (flats) or buy their freehold (houses) by way of Leasehold Enfranchisement.

We can provide complete guidance and assistance from start to finish in this complex field, and have detailed knowledge and experience of the various stages and processes to be followed. It is vitally important that, where you have obtained a quotation from your freeholder, you do not accept this without first obtaining valuation advice from us to ensure that you do not pay an excessive amount. It is typical of freeholders to quote high, meaning that any additional value to your property could be lost, if you accept. You have a right to challenge their quotation and our experience shows that negotiated settlements, with expert valuation advice, can save around 50% of the originally quoted amount.

Michael Boaden MRICS is a Chartered Surveyor with relevant professional experience in dealing with a broad mix of instructions and will be directly assigned to your case.

Michael Boaden has extensive knowledge and experience in this complex field. My colleagues and I at Clarke Mairs (and previously Gordon Brown Law Firm) routinely recommend and retain Michael on all matters of leasehold property and enfranchisement. Michael has provided countless Expert Reports which have been relied upon at both the First-Tier Tribunal and County Court. Those Reports stand up to scrutiny and indeed he has brokered countless successful negotiations on all matters of enfranchisement work.
