In my day my Mater and Pater drummed it into me not to buy a leasehold unless it had 90 or more years to run, and never at all if I was likely to want to purchase the leasehold in the future.
Do people these days not listen to their folks or their solicitors any more?
That article is frightening. "We didn't know it was leasehold until we went to put the deposit down..." What on Earth are these people doing not asking the most basic, fundamental question before they go to even look at a house or a plot? Its difficult to have sympathy for folk who treat the most expensive transaction of their lives so casually.
