We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years balance 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 owning the property. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Me and my sister are purchasing a maisonette in St Andrews which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
I'm seeking some help concerning extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in nine months time as we have to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
We currently own a three bed flat in St Andrews and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 73 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in St Andrews as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
