Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Does the lease include onerous restrictions?

In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay annual, normally this is not a significant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you should to check as sometimes it can be surprisingly expensive.
