    If you buy the property subject to the underlease then you are subject to the rights of the owner of the underlease to use, occupy, mortgage or sell the property for the remainder of the term of the underlease. In practice it might be that the underlease has been abandoned but in theory all you will have is a right to collect the rent (usually a nominal sum) until the underlease expires and so all of the value is in the underlease and not the headlease you are being offered.
