Hi guys,  can anyone tell me what the letters WDC are with a dollar amount in respect to purchase of a leasehold property?  Is this the amount you pay to the person who owns the land? and then do you also have to pay the rates on that land?  Any help appreciated?

Thanks Terry,
They are bedsitters, bedroom/lounge/dining all in one room, a kitchenette and a small bathroom. Mainly for uni students, and it is 2 minutes walk to the town centre and bus stop etc. Any help is appreciated. Today another unit in the block went up for sale with a new tenant. I really am interested but need finance to continue.

All replies gratefully received.[blush2]
