The rule of thumb is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Barrow In Furness can extend the lease for an additional ninety years under legislation. Do think carefully before delaying your Barrow In Furness lease extension. Postponing that expense today simply increases the price you will eventually be required to pay for a lease extension.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
