  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 798 years 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 true? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a three bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Longlands, where the lease is roughly 58 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the current owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it may take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • I'm living with my mum and dad but have a three bed flat in Longlands let out which has a 60 year lease. 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. Not much about in Longlands for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 19k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
