Sample questions relating to Hethersett 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 balance left 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 correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without the house being ours. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

  • We wish to extend our lease. We will have been in the flat for 2 years as of 22nd May 2016. It has approximately 55 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by another 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income.

Should I keep or sell the flat?
