  • I’m about to offer on a three bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette to buy in the Endon area and was enquiring how much would it cost for a lease extension? It has 64 years left...
  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 899 years left so a lease extension is not required. 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 help would be much appreciated.
