Questions

I live in a large house in a nice area but the property needs considerable modernisation. I would like to sell, and have been offered a deal by a developer who says he will give me £10,000 less than the valuation. Does that sound reasonable? Who does the valuation?

My grandmother has five remaining relatives: her younger brother, her daughter-in-law, her son-in-law and two grandchildren. Who is her legal next of kin?

The lease on my flat has some 69 years of a 99-year lease to run. Since I am 72 the length of the lease doesn’’t concern me unduly, but I have left the property to my daughter and wonder whether she will be able to extend the lease or buy the freehold.

The roots of a tree on council land at the side of my bungalow are lifting the tarmac on my drive and could be damaging the drains below. 18 months ago the council agreed the tree should come down, but nothing’s been done despite numerous letters and phone calls from me.

I’m due to retire in September. The firm I work for would like me to continue working part-time, but I fear this could affect my old age pension. What’’s the legal position on this?

I live in a flat owned by a housing association and pay a service charge of around £15 a week. In the two years I have been here the windows have only been cleaned a couple of times, the garden is overgrown and the cleaners vac the stairs once every two to three weeks. Should I have to pay for such a poor service?

A colleague was involved in a motorway pile-up in which a passenger in one of the other cars was killed. No charges are being brought against any of the drivers, but the police have told my colleague she should attend the inquest. She feels she would have difficulty coping with this: does she have to attend?

Our house was repossessed four years ago. Now the mortgage people have been on to us to see if they can recover any more money. They have already sold the house and taken our life insurance policies and everything else they could get their hands on. What can we do? Would it be advisable to go bankrupt?

My ex-wife remarried in September 2007 and my maintenance payments to her should have stopped. Unfortunately my payments were made by attachment of earnings and I wasn’t able to change the order until the following April, by which time she had received £1,000 she wasn’t entitled to. If I’m asked to start paying maintenance for the children again, should either of them go to college, can I refuse?
