If you own your house under a long lease and have been the registered owner for at least two years, then it is very likely that you qualify for the right to purchase the freehold of your leasehold house. There has been some recent comment on long leasehold houses in the press, particularly in relation to new build developments. In particular see the article that appeared recently on the Daily Mail.
ALEP director Andrew Pridell commented in relation to this and Mark Chick provided some technical input.
