One good point of buying a property as you all know is that the property will one day belongs to the house buyers when they have finished repaying the house loan. It is not a problem at all. However, there are other expenses as in ground rent and council tax for starters. Most of all, mortgage plays a larger role over here as it is really getting expensive now days.
