Langley Byers Bennett are a professional practice of Chartered Surveyors specialising in Expert Witness Work with particular expertise in the fields of:
Leasehold Enfranchisement
Lease Extensions
Valuations
Dilapidations
Service Charge Disputes
Building Condition & Repair Disputes
We regularly act as expert witnesses in a wide variety of property related disputes including such issues as Dilapidations and Repairs, Service Charge Disputes, Enfranchisement, Valuations and other Landlord and Tenant matters in respect of most types of residential and commercial property.
Unfortunately disputes between Landlords, Tenants, Managing Agents or Neighbours are commonplace and can easily escalate leading to potentially expensive disputes.
We can offer professional advice which may avoid disputes being avoided altogether, or limited in a way that can often lead to a speedier and more economic resolution. We regularly provide Expert Evidence and Advice at the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) or in Court, in many types of property related disputes.
We have a specialist residential lease extension and enfranchisement department dedicated to the provision of professional advice in connection with the valuation of premiums and negotiation for the purchase of the freehold of blocks of flats, the enfranchisement of houses and lease extensions.
