Sample questions relating to Brandon Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years balance left so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
