The only way is down when it comes to Baguley lease terms. Baguley properties that have a lease term less than than eighty years will reduce in value at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will increase.
Leasehold premises in Baguley with over one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Ms C Davies took over the lease of a first floor flat in Baguley in July 1997. The question was if we could approximate the compensation to the landlord would be for a 90 year lease extension.
