Sample questions relating to Cwmcarn Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years remaining so a lease extension is not an issue. 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
