Sample questions relating to Newburn Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £195k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 899 years unexpired so a lease extension is not a worry. 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 guidance would be much appreciated.

What do you think?
