Comparing leasehold costs with borrowing for improvements.
The market snapshot is for Welwyn Hatfield borough, not Welwyn Garden City alone. When comparing a flat with a house, include ground rent, service charges, estate charges and foreseeable major works where applicable. A lower advertised purchase price does not necessarily mean a lower ongoing cost.
If your plan is to improve rather than move, obtain quotes and check permissions before deciding how much extra borrowing is needed. Compare a further advance with remortgaging, including your existing deal’s early repayment charges. The longer repayment period can materially affect the total interest paid.

Useful checks, before an offer.
Use these original sources to investigate your shortlist. Your conveyancer and surveyor should advise on the property; a mortgage adviser assesses borrowing and lender requirements.
