What does Leasehold mean?

Leasehold means that somebody else has title to the land and that you will therefore have to pay a ground rent and possibly also a service charge to the freeholder (owner of the freehold title). It is normally possible to buy the freehold title at a later date as a separate purchase transaction.

It therefore follows that the valuation of two identical properties, one being leasehold and the other freehold, would result in a lower value being applied to the leasehold property.

It is important to check the length of time remaining on the lease (Commonly the leases would have been originally issued with a 99 year life span). If not much time is remaining on the lease it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, unless the freehold can also be purchased subsequently.

Find a property in your local paper...

How you decide to find the property you require is up to you.

Traditionally, most newspapers have Property Publication supplements or features that they publish weekly so you should make a note of what day the publication is printed and take a look at the properties within the pages to see if something catches your fancy. Make an appointment to view the property with the listing agent at your earliest convenience, DONT HANG BACK.

If you see something that's likely to be a good buy then be aware that you're not the only person who is likely to think so. The person who makes the best bid and is best placed to proceed through to completion stage will end up owning the house so don't be slow in viewing the house as soon as you can, if only to eliminate it from your list or to get an idea of what you can get for your money in that area.
