  • 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 928 years balance left so a lease extension is not an issue.

We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.

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 Norwich 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 13k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
