how does that work, when the lease runs out you own nothing?
Yes, that’s why it’s a number that counts down!Double whammy of eff all rent I expect, and having to pay for a lease extension, but if you have loads of cash, and a very young kid, if you’re lucky by the time they’re an adult there’s a cracking bolt hole for them (or you, post refurb in both cases obvs).

The lease extension gets more expensive every year too

I must have gone insane because I think that is actualy a bit of a bargain. Average £20k a year to live in that part of London (in today's prices) is cheap. It's the sort of place that is hard to sell on, but would be a great family asset to hold.NomduJour said:
£400 a week over the lease term sounds like very, very good value for that.
If you could live in it then yes but it has a lifetime tennentSay they live for 20 years as people in that situation live much longer than normal people, see R Mugabe for another example
You are paying £600k. Lease extension will be somewhere in the region of £1.5m+
Then you have to wait 20 years before you can let it out, move in, sell it etc.
On top of that probably £10k a year service charge
Plus you are a landlord having to sort out s

£1.875M
Not a bad price for the size in the area but the house is weird
The outside space has not been modernised at all especially the crazy pave drive WTF
The inside space is dated like the parquet flooring WTF that does not match the interior / kitchen
Lounge is crap
It's a 80% finished project IMO

I thought it must be a typo, but sold prices seem to indicate not....This one popped up in my feed.

Nothing hugely nightmare, but so uninspiring and the price seems nuts - I must be missing something special about the location.....

The house is mundane, and there’s nothing that would make me want to view it if we were relocating to this part of Warwickshire.

I had the the same reaction. Is Kenilworth really that desirable? (I don’t know the area at all).
