Sample questions relating to Tintern Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £215k and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years unexpired 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 twenty years without the house being ours. Any advice would be much appreciated.
