Questions
How can I check if a property is leasehold or freehold?
Search the postcode and choose the address to see the tenure recorded at the last sale. For certainty, the title register from HM Land Registry shows the current tenure.
What should I ask about a leasehold?
Ask for the years left on the lease, the ground rent and how it can rise, the service charge and any planned major works. Lenders may refuse leases under about 80 years.
